To find the complementary mRNA strand for the given DNA strand, you need to replace each DNA base with its complementary RNA base:

  • A (adenine) pairs with U (uracil) in RNA
  • T (thymine) pairs with A (adenine)
  • C (cytosine) pairs with G (guanine)
  • G (guanine) pairs with C (cytosine)

Given the DNA strand: ACC GTT AAT

The complementary mRNA strand would be created as follows:

  • A → U
  • C → G
  • C → G
  • (space)
  • G → C
  • T → A
  • T → A
  • (space)
  • A → U
  • A → U
  • T → A

So, the complementary mRNA strand is: UGG CAA UUA.

Thus, the correct response is:

UGG CAA UUA.
