AGGTATCGCAT is a sequence from the coding strand of a gene. What will be the corresponding sequence of the transcribed mRNA ?
(1) AGGUAUCGCAU
(2) UGGTUTCGCAT
(3) ACCUAUGCGAU
(4) UCCAUAGCGUA
The correct option is(1) AGGUAUCGCAU
Explanation:
Coding strand is the one that codes for mRNA. It has same nucleotide sequence as that of mRNA except thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U) in mRNA. Hence, the corresponding sequence of transcribed mRNA by template or non-coding strand (complementary to RNA) is AGGUAUCGCAU.
