Which one is the correct product of DNA dependent RNA polymerase to the given template? 3'TACATGGCAAATATCCATTCA5'
- 5'AUGUACCGUUUAUAGGUAAGU3'
- 5'AUGUAAAGUUUAUAGGUAAGU3'
- 5'AUGUACCGUUUAUAGGGAAGU3'
- 5'ATGTACCGTTTATAGGTAAGT3'
Answer
(1) 5'AUGUACCGUUUAUAGGUAAGU3'
Solution
The RNA is complementary and antiparallel to the template strand, and has uracil (U) in place of thymine: A U, T A, G C, C G.
Template: 3'TACATGGCAAATATCCATTCA5'
RNA: 5'AUGUACCGUUUAUAGGUAAGU3'
Option (2) and (3) contain wrongly paired bases, and option (4) contains T, which is absent in RNA.
Answer: (1)
