Question

Two complementary strands of DNA appear. One is labeled template strand and the other is labeled non-
template strand. The template strand sequence is:
3'CTTACTGTGTCGCAAATGTGCC
GACTCG5'
The complimentary sequence for the non-template strand is:
5' GAATGACACAGCGTTTACACGG
CTGAGC3'
The strands move apart and a new strand, labeled mRNA moves into the positon next to the template
strand.
For each instance of the letter C in the DNA template strand (letter G in the non-template strand),
which letter should go in the mRNA strand?
O
T
A
D
