If a sequence of bases on the coding strand of DNA is ACTGAC,the mRNA will have a base sequence of
A) ACTGAC
B) ACUGAC
C) TGACTG
D) UGACUG
E) UGUGUC

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When DNA is transcribed into mRNA, the base thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U). Therefore, the mRNA sequence corresponding to the coding strand with the sequence ACTGAC would be UGACUG. Choice D is the only option that matches this sequence.
