Question

During transcription, the nucleotide sequence of the DNA strand that is being coded is ATACG, then the nucleotide sequence in the mRNA would be

Options

A.TATGC
B.TCTGG
C.UAUGC
D.UATGG

Solution

The formation of mRNA from DNA is termed as transcription. This process takes place in the nucleus (eukaryotes) or in the cytoplasm (prokaryotes). The base sequence of mRNA is complementary copy of the template DNA strand. If DNA has ATACG nucleotide sequence then the mRNA would contain UAUGC nucle otide sequence.
