A template DNA strand has the following base sequence: 3´-GUC, CCA-5´. What would be the corresponding mRNA sequence?
A) 3´-GUC, CCA-5´
B) 5´-GUC, CCA-5´
C) 3´-CAG, GGU-5´
D) 5´-CAG, GGU-3´
E) 5´-CAG, GGT-3´

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mRNA sequence is complementary to the DNA template strand and is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction. The DNA template 3'-GUC, CCA-5' corresponds to the mRNA 5'-CAG, GGU-3'.
