Molecular Basis Of Inheritance Question 105
Question: During transcription, if the nucleotide sequence of the DNA strand that is being coded is ATACG; then the nucleotide sequence in the mRNA would be [CBSE PMT 2004]
Options:
A) UAUGC
B) UATGC
C) TATGC
D) TCTGG
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Bases sequence in DNA will decide the base sequence in RNA.
Uracil (U) will work as substitute for thymine (T) in mRNA.
Complementary base pairing for mRNA will be $ \begin{aligned} & ATACG \\ & UAUCG \\ \end{aligned} $
