Question

which strand of mrna would be made during transcription using the dna strand shown below? cga tct a. gcu aga b. gct agu c. gca ugt d. gcu ugu

Explanation:

In transcription, DNA bases pair with RNA bases. Adenine (A) in DNA pairs with uracil (U) in mRNA, thymine (T) in DNA pairs with adenine (A) in mRNA, cytosine (C) in DNA pairs with guanine (G) in mRNA, and guanine (G) in DNA pairs with cytosine (C) in mRNA. For the DNA strand CGA TCT, the mRNA strand will be GCU AGA.

Answer:

A. GCU AGA
