A DNA base sequence is A T G C C G. The sequence of bases in a strand of mRNA transcribed from this sequence of bases in DNA would be
A) T A C G G C.
B) U T C G G U.
C) U A C G G C.
D) A U G C C G.
E) T A G G G G.

During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make mRNA. The base adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) in RNA, thymine (T) pairs with adenine (A), guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Therefore, the DNA sequence A T G C C G would be transcribed to the mRNA sequence U A C G G C.
