When the DNA sequence AGGCT is transcribed, the corresponding mRNA sequence, written in 5'-3' order, is _____ .
A)TCCGA
B)UGGCA
C)AGCCU
D)UGCCA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DNA sequence AGGCT is transcribed into mRNA in the 5'-3' direction, which means that the mRNA sequence will be the complementary sequence to the DNA sequence, read in the 5'-3' direction. The complementary sequence to AGGCT is UCCGA, so the mRNA sequence will be UCCGA.
