Brief Explanations

To find the tRNA strand, first transcribe DNA to mRNA (replace T with U, A - U, C - G, G - C), then tRNA is complementary to mRNA. DNA sequence: ACTAGCATTACCATG. mRNA: UGAUCGUAAUGGUA C (transcribing: A→U, C→G, T→A, G→C). tRNA is complementary to mRNA: A CUAGCAUUACCAUG (wait, no—wait, DNA to mRNA: DNA has A, T, C, G. mRNA uses U instead of T. So DNA: A C T A G C A T T A C C A T G. So mRNA: U G A U C G U A A U G G U A C. Then tRNA is complementary to mRNA: A C U A G C A U U A C C A U G? Wait, no, let's do step by step. DNA sequence: positions 1 - 15: A(1), C(2), T(3), A(4), G(5), C(6), A(7), T(8), T(9), A(10), C(11), C(12), A(13), T(14), G(15). Transcribe to mRNA: replace T with U, A→U, T→A, C→G, G→C. So:

  1. A→U? No, DNA to mRNA: DNA template strand (assuming this is the coding strand? Wait, no—DNA to mRNA: the mRNA is transcribed from DNA, so A in DNA pairs with U in mRNA, T in DNA pairs with A in mRNA, C in DNA pairs with G in mRNA, G in DNA pairs with C in mRNA. So DNA sequence: ACTAGCATTACCATG (A C T A G C A T T A C C A T G). So mRNA: U G A U C G U A A U G G U A C (let's check each base:

A (DNA) → U (mRNA)

C → G

T → A

A → U

G → C

C → G

A → U

T → A

T → A

A → U

C → G

C → G

A → U

T → A

G → C

Wait, maybe I messed up. Wait, the DNA sequence is ACTAGCATTACCATG (let's write it as a string: A C T A G C A T T A C C A T G). So each DNA base:

  1. A → U (mRNA)
  1. C → G
  1. T → A
  1. A → U
  1. G → C
  1. C → G
  1. A → U
  1. T → A
  1. T → A
  1. A → U
  1. C → G
  1. C → G
  1. A → U
  1. T → A
  1. G → C

So mRNA sequence: U G A U C G U A A U G G U A C (let's count: 15 bases. Now tRNA is complementary to mRNA, so tRNA anticodon pairs with mRNA codon. So mRNA: U G A U C G U A A U G G U A C. tRNA: A C U A G C A U U A C C A U G? Wait, no—complementary base pairing: U in mRNA pairs with A in tRNA, G with C, A with U, C with G. So mRNA first base U → A (tRNA), G → C, A → U, U → A, C → G, G → C, U → A, A → U, A → U, U → A, G → C, G → C, U → A, A → C? Wait, no, let's do each position:

mRNA: position 1: U → tRNA: A

position 2: G → C

position 3: A → U

position 4: U → A

position 5: C → G

position 6: G → C

position 7: U → A

position 8: A → U

position 9: A → U

position 10: U → A

position 11: G → C

position 12: G → C

position 13: U → A

position 14: A → U

position 15: C → G

Wait, this is getting confusing. Alternatively, look at the options. The first option is ACUAGCAUUACCAUG. Let's check the DNA sequence: ACTAGCATTACCATG. If we transcribe DNA to mRNA: A→U, C→G, T→A, G→C. So DNA: A C T A G C A T T A C C A T G. mRNA: U G A U C G U A A U G G U A C. Then tRNA is complementary to mRNA: A C U A G C A U U A C C A U G? Wait, the first option is ACUAGCAUUACCAUG. Let's see: ACU AGC AUU ACC AUG. Let's check the DNA sequence: ACT AGC ATT ACC ATG. So DNA: ACTAGCATTACCATG. If we take the DNA and replace T with U (but no, tRNA is complementary to mRNA, which is complementary to DNA. Wait, maybe the DNA here is the coding strand, so mRNA is same as DNA but T→U. Wait, that's a common simplification. So DNA: ACTAGCATTACCATG. mRNA: ACUAGCAUUACCAUG (replace T with U). Then tRNA is complementary to mRNA: UGAUCGUAAUGGUA C? No, no—wait, in some cases, if the DNA shown is the non - template strand (coding strand), then mRNA is same as coding strand but T→U. So DNA: ACTAGCATTACCATG (coding strand), mRNA: ACUAGCAUUACCAUG (T→U). Then tRNA is complementary to mRNA, so tRNA would be UGAUCGUAAUGGUA C? But that's not an option. Wait, the first option is ACUAGCAUUACCAUG. Wait, maybe the question has a simplification: tRNA is complementary to mRNA, and mRN…

Answer:

A. ACUAGCAUUACCAUG
