When a new strand of RNA is transcribed from the DNA strand shown,its base sequence will be
Informational strand of DNA: 5' TTACGGAT 3'
Template strand of DNA: 3' AATGCCTA 5'
A)5' TTACGGAT 3'.
B)5' AATGCCTA 3'.
C)5' UUACGGAU 3'.
D)5' AAUGCCUA 3'.
E)5' UUTGCCTU 3'.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The base sequence of RNA is determined by complementary base pairing to the template strand of DNA. In RNA, uracil (U) replaces thymine (T), so the RNA sequence complementary to the DNA template strand is 5' UUACGGAU 3'.
