What strand of mRNA would be transcribed from the following strand of DNA: 5'AATG?
A) 5'UUGT
B) 3'TTAC
C) 5'TTUC
D) 3'UUAC
E) 5'GGUA

Question

During transcription, RNA polymerase reads the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction and synthesizes RNA in the 5' to 3' direction. The mRNA is complementary to the DNA template strand, with uracil (U) replacing thymine (T). Therefore, the DNA sequence 5'AATG would be transcribed to 3'UUAC.
