Question

Which one is the correct product of DNA dependent RNA polymerase to the given template?

3'TACATGGCAAATATCCATTCA5'

Options

• 5'AUGUACCGUUUAUAGGGAAGU3'

• 5'ATGTACCGTTTATAGGTAAGT3'

• 5' AUGUACCGUUUAUAGGUAAGU3'

• 5'AUGUAAAGUUUAUAGGUAAGU3'

Answer 1

5' AUGUACCGUUUAUAGGUAAGU3'

Explanation:

The polarity 3' → 5' strand, commonly known as the template strand, serves as a template. The product of transcription is the opposite strand, which has the polarity (5' → 3') and the identical sequence as RNA (with the exception of thymine replacing uracil).

Template DNA is: 3'TACATGGCAAATATCCATTCA5'
The product will be: 5'AUGUACCGUUUAUAGGUAAGU3
