NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 162

Which one of the following is the sequence on corresponding coding strand, if the sequence on mRNA formed is as follows 5’AUCGAUCGAUCGAUCGAUCGAUCG AUCG 3’?

  1. Option A:

    3’ UAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGC 5’

  2. Option B:

    5’ ATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCG 3’

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    3’ ATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCG 5’

  4. Option D:

    5’ UAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGC 3’

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

The sequence of coding strand is same as RNA except thymine at the place of uracil.

Template strand → 3’-TAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGC-5’

Coding strand → 5’-ATCGATCGATCG ATCGATCGATCGATCG-3’ ↓ Transcription

mRNA → 5’ AUCGAUCGAUCGAUCGAUCGAUCG AUCG 3’
