Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the mRNA molecule that would be transcribed from this DNA template:TGGCAAGTACGT
A
ACCGTTCATGCA
B
UGGCAAGUACGU
C
UCCGUUCUUGCU
D
ACCGUUCAUGCA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink). The pre-mRNA is processed to form a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated to build the protein molecule (polypeptide) encoded by the original gene.

Detailed explanation-2: -The enzyme that converts DNA into mRNA is called RNA polymerase, which attaches to the DNA double helix as shown here. Once attached, RNA polymerase can unwind the helix and begin copying one of the DNA strands to form an mRNA transcript of the gene.
