Solution

The correct option is C UAAGCUAC
Transcription involves the conversion of DNA to the m-RNA. It takes place by the enzyme RNA polymerase. The DNA has a particular sequence of nitrogenous bases like adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. In m-RNA the thymine is replaced by uracil. Uracil pairs with adenine. The sequence of nitrogenous bases on DNA template determine the sequence of nitrogenous bases on the m-RNA. If the sequence of bases in DNA is ATTCGATG, then the sequence of bases in its transcript will be UAAGCUAC.
So, the correct answer is option D.
