Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which represents the bases of mRNA?
A
A U C G
B
A T U G
C
A T C G
D
U T C G
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The bases in mRNA are grouped into sets of three called codons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: The template strand of DNA has AAA sequence, which will be transcribed to mRNA as UUU.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The sequence of three bases in mRNA that specifies an amino acid is called a codon. The different codons can code for 22 different amino acids that exist in nature.

Detailed explanation-4: -In molecular biology shorthand, the nitrogenous bases are often just referred to by their one-letter symbols, A, T, G, C, and U. DNA contains A, T, G, and C, while RNA contains A, U, G, and C (that is, U is swapped in for T).
