Question

If a sequence of non-template strand is $\text{5’- ATGTGACGAG-3’,}$ the sequence of codon on $\text{mRNA}$ will be

• A. $\text{AUGUGACGAG}$
• B. $\text{UACACUGCUC}$
• C. $\text{ATGTGACGAG}$
• D. $\text{AUGUGTCCTA}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The strand with polarity and the sequence same as RNA, except thymine at the place of uracil, is displaced during transcription. This strand is called the coding strand, sense strand or non-template strand.
