A)AGTTCAACT
B)AGUUCAACU
C)UGTTCUUCT
D)UGUUCUUCU

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In RNA, the nucleotide uracil (U) replaces thymine (T). Therefore, the RNA sequence equivalent to AGTTCAACT would be AGUUCAACU. Choice C) and D) are incorrect because they have different nucleotide sequences that do not correspond to the original DNA sequence. Choice A) is incorrect because it is the same as the original DNA sequence and not the RNA equivalent.
