Solution
If the sequence of bases in DNA is TAGC, then the sequence of bases in RNA would be AUCG.
Explanation:
When a DNA sequence is transcribed into RNA, the bases pair according to specific complementary rules. Thymine (T) in DNA pairs with Adenine (A) in RNA, and Adenine (A) in DNA pairs with Uracil (U) because RNA does not contain thymine. Similarly, Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C) always pair with each other. Applying these rules to the DNA sequence TAGC, the T becomes A, the A becomes U, the G becomes C, and the C becomes G, resulting in the final RNA sequence of AUCG.
