No

Answer 1

CTGACTGACC to GACUGACUGG

AGCTCCGATC to UCGAGGCUAG

GCTAATCGAT to CGAUUAGCUA

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription is the process whereby a DNA template is used to form a mRNA molecule in the nucleus following the complementary base pairing rule. The complementary base pairing rule as postulated by Chargaff states that an Adenine base will always pair with Thymine (Uracil in RNA) while Guanine base will always pair with Cytosine i.e A-U, G-C.

N.B: Thymine in the DNA will yield Adenine in the mRNA while Adenine in the DNA will yield Uracil in the mRNA.

Hence, according to this question, the following DNA templates will be transcribed as follows:

1. CTGACTGACC to GACUGACUGG

2. AGCTCCGATC to UCGAGGCUAG

3. GCTAATCGAT to CGAUUAGCUA
