Question

If the sequence of bases in DNA is ATTCGATG, the sequance of bases in the transcript is:

• A. TAAGCTAC
• B. UAACGUC
• C. TUUGCTUG
• D. UUUCCUUC

Answer 1

Answer:

B. UAACGUC

The process of forming RNA over a DNA template is called transcription. During transcription, the bases in the RNA transcript are complementary to the bases in the DNA, with the exception of uracil replacing thymine in the RNA. The four bases in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs: A with T, and G with C.
