Question
If the sequence in an RNA molecule is - - GUCAUC - - - then the corresponding DNA sequence is: a. CAGTAG b. CTGATG c. GUCAUC d. CTGUTG
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
To find the DNA sequence from an RNA sequence, remember that DNA uses T instead of U. So, replace U with T and find the complementary DNA strand. For RNA sequence G U C A U C, the complementary DNA strand would be C A G T A G (G-C, U/T-A, C-G, A-T, U/T-A, C-G). Option A is CAGTAG.
Hint
Replace U with T and find the complementary base.
