Question

During transcription, the nucleotide sequence of the DNA strand that is being coded is ATACG, then the nucleotide sequence in the mRNA would be

• A. TATGC
• B. TCTGG
• C. UAUGC
• D. UATGG

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The formatipn of $mRNA$ from DNA is termed as transcription. This process takes place in the nucleus (eukaryotes) or in the cytoplasm (prokaryotes). The base sequence of $mRNA$ is complementary copy of the template DNA I strand. If DNA has ATACG nucleotide sequence then the mRNA would contain UAUGC nucleotide sequence.
