Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given :
If the sequence of nitrogen bases of the coding strand of DNA in a transcription unit is: 5 - A T G A AT G - 3, the sequence of bases in its RNA transcript would be
  1. 5-AUGAAUG-3
  2. 5 CAUUCAU 3
  3. 5-UACUUAC-3
  4. 5-GUAAGUA-3.

A
5-AUGAAUG-3
B
5 CAUUCAU 3
C
5-UACUUAC-3
D
5-GUAAGUA-3.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is A 5-AUGAAUG-3
  • Translation is the process of conversion of DNA into RNA.
  • It includes coding and template strands of DNA in which template strand forms the RNA and follows the base pairing rule except for uracil in place of thymine in RNA strand.
  • In the question,
We have coding strand-ATGAATG
So, template strand-TACTTAC
Therefore, RNA strand-AUGAAUG
So the correct option is '5-AUGAAUG-3'.
