  • 10%

  • 20%

  • 30%

If the sequence of bases in the coding strand of a double-stranded DNA is 5'-GTTCGAGTC-3', the sequence of bases in its transcript will be

  • 5'-GACUCGAAC-3'

  • 5'-CAAGCUCAG-3'

  • 5'-GUUCGAGUC-3'

  • 5'-CUGAGCUUG-3'


C.

5'-GUUCGAGUC-3'

DNA is made up of two polynucleotide chains having antiparallel polarity. Therefore, when one chain has 5'  3' polarity the other chain will have 3'  5' polarity. Thus, if the sequence of the bases in the coding strand of a double- stranded DNA is 5' GTTCGAGTC-3' its complementary strand will have 3'-CAAGCTCAG-5'.

In case of transcript, i.e.mRNA, the sequence will be 5'-GUUCGUGUC-3' (Uracil is present instead of thymine).
