Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What would the DNA sequence be for the following section of RNA?UGA-UUC
A
ACTAAG
B
TCUTTG
C
GAAUCU
D
UCCTGA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA utilizes four bases, adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), in its code. RNA also uses four bases. However, instead of using ‘T’ as DNA does, it uses uracil (U). Therefore, if your DNA sequence is 3’ T C G T T C A G T 5’, the mRNA sequence would be 5’ A G C A A G U C A 3’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore the correct answer is option (D) AUG.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mRNA sequence is produced from the DNA template during transcription and the sequence will be UACCACUUAUCGGGGUUACCAAUU.
