You are looking at a small piece of single-stranded DNA with the base sequence of ACCTGAACGTCGCTA. What would be the sequence of the complementary strand of RNA?
A. TGGACTTGCAGCGAT
B. ACCTGAACGTCGCTA
C. UGGACUUGCAGCGAU
D. ACCUGAACGUCGCUA
C
RNA is similar to DNA except that it is single-stranded and the base thymine (T) does not exist in RNA. Instead, every place the base thymine would be present in DNA, the base uracil (U) is placed in RNA. The RNA complementary to a segment of DNA would have an A wherever the DNA strand has a T, a C wherever the DNA strand has a G, a G wherever the DNA has a C, and a U wherever the DNA strand has an A.
