Solution
The correct option is C5′−AUGUAUCUCAAU−3′ Transcription is the process of conversion of DNA into RNA. The transcribed RNA strand is called a transcript. The given sequence is of non-coding strand. The coding strand will be complementary to the given sequence. The RNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction and is called the transcript. The nucleotide sequence of this transcript will be same as that of the non-coding strand but the T will be replaced by U. Thus the correct answer is option C.
