Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Choose the nucleotide sequence of the RNA strand that would be complementary to the following strand:GTAGTCA
A
UATUAGA
B
ACGACTG
C
CAUCAGU
D
CATCAGT
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anticodon An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence located at one end of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule, which is complementary to a corresponding codon in a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence.

Detailed explanation-2: -If an mRNA strand produced had the sequence UGU-CAA, then the complementary DNA strand will have the bases that complement the bases in the mRNA strand. Therefore, the DNA complement of UGU in the mRNA strand would be ACA, and the DNA complement of CAA in the mRNA strand would be GTT. Therefore, the correct is C.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The template strand of DNA has AAA sequence, which will be transcribed to mRNA as UUU.
