Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3. \ GAGCTC}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Amino acids are the monomers or building blocks of protein. Proteins are created during protein synthesis according to the genetic information or DNA in an organism.

The DNA is translated to messenger RNA in the nucleus. It travels to the ribosome. There, the mRNA is "read off" in threes. Three nucleotides make up  a codon. Transfer RNA with the corresponding anticodon and an amino acid attaches to the codon and a chain of amino acid forms.

If 3 nucleotides make 1 codon which makes 1 amino acid, then we need double that or 6 nucleotides to make 2 amino acids.

The only answer choice with 6 nucleotides is Choice 3: GAGCTC
