If the sequence of bases in the template strand of a DNA molecule is 3' ATCGCTCC 5', what is the sequence of bases in the RNA that is transcribed from this molecule?
A)3' UAGCGAGG 5'
B)3' TAGCGAGG 5'
C)5' UAGCGAGG 3'
D)5' TAGCGAGG 3'

During transcription, RNA polymerase reads the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction and synthesizes RNA in the 5' to 3' direction. The RNA sequence is complementary to the DNA template strand, with uracil (U) replacing thymine (T). Thus, the RNA sequence is 5' UAGCGAGG 3'.
