A)5' A-T-A-G-C-T-A 3'
B)5' A-U-A-G-C-U-A 3'
C)5' U-A-U-C-G-A-U 3'
D)5' U-U-U-G-C-U-U 3'
E)5' T-A-T-C-G-A-T 3'

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mRNA sequence will be complementary to the DNA template, except that thymine (T) will be replaced with uracil (U). So, the mRNA sequence will be 5' U-A-U-C-G-A-U 3'. Choice A has the same sequence as the DNA template and choices B, D and E contain incorrect nucleotide sequences. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
