NEET Solved Paper 2018 Question 71
Question: AGGTATCGCAT is a sequence from the coding strand of a gene. What will be the corresponding sequence of the transcribed mRNA? [NEET - 2018]
Options:
A) ACCUAUGCGAU
B) UGGTUTCGCAT
C) AGGUAUCGCAU
D) UCCAUAGCGUA
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
-
- Understand that the coding strand of DNA is the same as the mRNA sequence, except that thymine (T) in DNA is replaced by uracil (U) in RNA.
- Replace each thymine (T) in the DNA sequence with uracil (U) to get the mRNA sequence.
Given the DNA coding strand sequence: AGGTATCGCAT
The corresponding mRNA sequence will be: AGGUAUCGCAU
