Solution

The sequence of the DNA template strand that would allow this tRNA to add an amino acid to the polypeptide chain is 5' CGT 3'.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The tRNA anticodon is 5' GCA 3'.

  2. The mRNA codon that pairs with this anticodon would be 5' CGU 3' (since RNA pairs G with C and A with U).

  3. The DNA template strand is complementary to the mRNA, but in DNA, T is used instead of U. So, the DNA sequence that corresponds to the mRNA codon 5' CGU 3' would be 5' CGT 3'.
