I don't see the DNA sequence or the answer choices — can you paste them (or attach the image)?
If you want to work it out yourself, use this rule:
- If the given DNA strand is the template (antisense) strand (usually written 3'→5'), transcribe by writing the complementary RNA 5'→3'. Base-pairing: A → U, T → A, C → G, G → C. Example: DNA template 3'–T A C G C A–5' → mRNA 5'–A U G C G U–3'.
- If the given DNA strand is the coding (sense) strand (usually written 5'→3'), the mRNA has the same sequence but with U instead of T (and also is 5'→3'). Example: DNA coding 5'–A T G C G T–3' → mRNA 5'–A U G C G U–3'.
Send the sequence/options and I’ll pick the correct choice.
