If the DNA Code is Adenine - Thymine - Guanine,the

Question

If the DNA code is adenine - thymine - guanine,the messenger RNA sequence would be
A) adenine - thymine - guanine
B) thymine - adenine - cytosine
C) thymine - uracil - cytosine
D) uracil - adenine - cytosine

Accepted Answer

During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make messenger RNA (mRNA). In RNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) instead of thymine (T), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). Therefore, the DNA sequence adenine-thymine-guanine would be transcribed to uracil-adenine-cytosine in mRNA.
