A portion of a DNA strand has the following base sequence: GACTAACCTT What is the corresponding base sequence in mRNA transcribed from this DNA?
A)CUGAUUGGAA
B)CTGATTGGAA
C)CTGUTTGGAA
D)CTUATTUUAA
E)GACTAACCTT

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make mRNA. The base adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) in RNA, and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G), so the DNA sequence GACTAACCTT corresponds to the mRNA sequence CUGAUUGGAA.
