Answer:

It is read 3' to 5'.

Explanation:

Genetic code may be defined as the triplet code o the nucleotide that specify a particular product. The process of formation of protein form the RNA molecule is known as translation.

Genetic codes are non overlapping, written without any punctuation and three codes for the amino acid. The genetic code is read from 5' to 3' direction and not in the 3' to 5' direction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
