Question

A gene includes the sequence AGAACT. When it is transcribed, what will the RNA sequence be? A. UCUUGA B. UGCCGU C. UCUUTC D. TCTTGA

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option would be A.

According to the base-pairing rule, Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T) (or Uracil in the case of RNA) while Guanine (G) always pairs with Cytosine (C).

Hence;

A-U

G-C

A-U

A-U

C-G

T-A

Therefore, AGAACT would be transcribed to UCUUGA.
