Sample question
A researcher synthesises a single-stranded DNA template with the sequence 3'-TACGAACTTGGG-5'. Which of the following correctly represents the mRNA transcript produced from this template?
- 5'-AUGCUUGAACCC-3'
- 5'-AUGGAACUUGGG-3'
- 5'-UACGAACUUGGG-3'
- 5'-AUGCUUGAACCC-3' with thymine replacing uracil
Show the worked answer
Answer: A
mRNA is complementary and antiparallel to the template strand, with U replacing T. Reading the template 3' to 5' gives mRNA 5'-AUGCUUGAACCC-3'.
