Detailed explanation-1: -Antisense is the non-coding DNA strand of a gene. In a cell, antisense DNA serves as the template for producing messenger RNA (mRNA), which directs the synthesis of a protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mRNA sequence transcribed from this strand is UCCAUAGGGUA.

Detailed explanation-3: -The DNA strand that serves as a template for mRNA synthesis is called as anticoding strand or antisense strand or noncoding strand. The other strand is called coding strand or sense strand as its base sequence is same as that of newly synthesized mRNA. The correct answer is D.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
