Question

recall how to pair bases to form rna
in each image below, the dna antisense strand is on the top. which image shows the correct rna
molecule being formed on the bottom?

Explanation:

• In RNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).
• The first option has thymine (T) which is not present in RNA.
• The second option has incorrect base - pairing and also has 'RNA' written within the base - pair section which is not a base.
• The third option has correct base - pairing (A - U, T - A, C - G, G - C, A - U) as per RNA synthesis from a DNA antisense strand.

Answer:

The third image (with the sequence UAGCU) shows the correct RNA molecule being formed.
