Detailed explanation-1: -The RNA nucleotide sequence is complementary to that of DNA template strand except the presence of uracil in place of thymine. As we know that adenine base pairs with thymine and guanine with cytosine; the RNA sequence of given DNA strand would be UACGGAUCCUG. This makes option D correct answer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transcription is performed by enzymes called RNA polymerases, which link nucleotides to form an RNA strand (using a DNA strand as a template). Transcription has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination.
Detailed explanation-3: -The coding region (also called coding sequence, or CDS), is the portion of the mRNA that is actually translated into protein. The mRNA also includes an untranslated region on each end, called the 5’ UTR and 3’ UTR.
