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
If a bacterium cannot use citrate agar will not change its color (stays green). On the other hand, if bacteria have the ability to use citrate, the medium will change its color from green to blue.
This happens because citrate agar contains pH indicator such as bromothymol blue which transforms from green to blue in alkaline conditions.
