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

Correct option (c) UAUGC

Explanation

If DNA has ATACG nucleotide sequence then the mRNA would contain UAUGC sequence. The formation 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 strand.
