If the sequence of an RNA molecule is 5'GGCAUCGACG 3', what is the sequence of the nontemplate strand of DNA?
A)5' GGCATCGACG 3'
B)3' GGCATCGACG 5'
C)5' CCGTAGCTGC 3'
D)3'CCGTAGCTGC 5'
E)3' CGTCGATGCC 5'

The nontemplate strand of DNA has the same sequence as the RNA molecule, except that thymine (T) replaces uracil (U). The RNA sequence is 5' GGCAUCGACG 3', so the DNA nontemplate strand is 5' GGCATCGACG 3', matching option A.
