Which of the following RNA sequences would be transcribed from the DNA sequence ATGGCTAGGAC?
Correct answer: D. UACCGAUCCUG
- A. TACGGATCCTG
- B. UAGCGAUCCUG
- C. AUGCCUAGGAC
- D. UACCGAUCCUG
- E. GCAUUCGAAGU
Explanation
DNA strand serves as the template for RNA synthesis. 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.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
