Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If one strand of DNA has the nitrogenous base sequence at ATCTG, what would be the complementary RNA strand sequence
A
TTAGU
B
UAGAC
C
AACTG
D
ATCGU
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The given sequence on DNA strand is as follows: ATCTG. thus, the complementary one on RNA will be: UAGAC.

Detailed explanation-2: -Expert-Verified Answer The complementary mRNA sequence to the DNA sequence A-T-T-G-C-A will be U-A-A-C-G-U. During transcription, a DNA sequence is used as template to synthesize a complementary RNA, often a messenger RNA (mRNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -Correct option b UAGAC ExplanationIf one strand of DNA has the nitrogenous base sequence as ATCTG the complementary sequence of mRNA will be UAGAC.

Detailed explanation-4: -The base pairs on one strand of the DNA bind with the base pairs of the other strand specifically. A always pairs with T with two hydrogen bonds and G always pairs with C with three hydrogen bonds. So if one strand is ATGCTTGA then the complementary strand will be TACGAACT.
