Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that can synthesize DNA from an RNA template.What DNA sequence is produced from an RNA molecule with the sequence 5'AUUGACGGU3'?
A)3'UAACUGCCA5'
B)5'TTTCTGCCT3'
C)3'TAACTGCCA5'
D)5'ATTCAGCCT3'
E)3'TUUCTGCCU5'

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reverse transcriptase synthesizes DNA from an RNA template by replacing uracil (U) in RNA with thymine (T) in DNA and complementing the other bases accordingly. The RNA sequence 5'AUUGACGGU3' would be transcribed to a DNA sequence that is complementary and antiparallel, resulting in 3'TAACTGCCA5'.
