During transcription, if the nucleotide sequence of the DNA strand that is being coded is ATACG then the nucleotide sequence in the RNA would be:NEET 2004

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Template strand only serves as the template for transcription whereas coding strand contains the exact same sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA except thymine. Coding DNA strand 5'-ATACG-3' Template DNA strand 3'-TATGC-5' mRNA synthesised 5'-UAUGC-3' Caution The direction of the template strand is in 3' to 5', whereas the coding strand shows opposite directional polarity, i.e., to direction.
