B. a specific place on a chromosome where a particular gene resides.

A locus (plural loci) in genetics is the position of a gene on a chromosome. Each chromosome carries many genes; humans' estimated 'haploid' protein coding genes are 19,000-20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes. A variant of the similar DNA sequence located at a given locus is called an allele.

Answer:

The correct answer would be - AUGCUUAUC

Explanation:

The new mRNA strands are made by the process called transcription that involves an enzyme that helps to copy a segment of DNA or gene to produce a new RNA strand that encodes for the protein. In this process, a new RNA strand copied the complementary to the sequence of DNA strand. It means adenosine is copied into its complementary form uracil in RNA, Thymin to adenosine, cytosine to guanine and guanine to cytosine.

Original strands: TACGAATAG

new RNA strand: AUGCUUAUC
