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: -When a DNA strand with the sequence AACGTAACG is transcribed, the resultant sequence of the mRNA molecule synthesized is UUGCAUUGC. This is based on the paring of nitrogenous bases-adenine pairs with thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA) and guanine with cytosine.

Detailed explanation-3: -During transcription, a piece of DNA that codes for a specific gene is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus of the cell. The mRNA then carries the genetic information from the DNA to the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.
