Solution
The correct option is E UGGUAC
A base pair (bp) is a unit consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds. They form the building blocks of the DNA double helix and contribute to the folded structure of both DNA and RNA. Adenine (A) always binds to thymine (T) in DNA and with uracil (U) in RNA and cytosine (C) binds with guanine (G).
Therefore, correct mRNA sequence for the segment of DNA with sequence ACCATC would be UGGUAC.
