Which of the following is the correct mRNA strand to the following template sequence?GGATCA
A
CCTAGT
B
AGTCCT
C
AGUCCU
D
CCUAGU
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: -While the DNA template runs in the direction 3’
