Q160 / 180 · NEET 2018 · Zoology

AGGTATCGCAT is a sequence from the coding strand of a gene. What will be the corresponding sequence of the transcribed mRNA?

  • A
    ACCUAUCGAU
  • B
    UGGTUTCGCAT
  • Correct answer
    C
    AGGUAUCGCAU
  • D
    UCCAUAGCGUA

Solution

Coding strand is the one that codes for mRNA. It has the same nucleotide sequence as that of mRNA except for thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U) in mRNA. Hence, the corresponding sequence of transcribed mRNA by template or non-coding strand (complementary to RNA) is AGGUAUCGCAU.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
