C. i just had a quiz with this on it. i got it right
Answer:
3 UCA 5
Explanation:
The 5' end of a strand pairs up with the 3' of its complimentary strand. So with this fact, we can rule out option C.
Now when you pair the DNA template with the mRNA template, remember that RNA contains uracil and not thymine. So the base pairings would be:
T = A
A = U
U = A
G = C
C = G
Based on this, the pairing would be like this:
5' A G T 3'
3' U C A 5'
