If a DNA Segment Has the Sequence GCTAA, What RNA

Question

If a DNA segment has the sequence GCTAA, what RNA sequence will be made from it?
A) GCTAA
B) CGATT
C) UGATT
D) CGUTT
E) CGAUU

Accepted Answer

During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make RNA. The RNA nucleotides are complementary to the DNA nucleotides, with uracil (U) replacing thymine (T). Therefore, the DNA sequence GCTAA transcribes to CGAUU in RNA.
