Answer: A

Why? None of the other sequences will match up correctly

The process of transcription produces the mRNA sequence from the DNA. The mRNA transcription of ATGGCACCTTAC will be UACCGUGGAAUG. Thus, option A is correct.

What is mRNA transcription?

Transcription is the process of the formation of mRNA from the replicated DNA strand of the cell. It produces an mRNA transcript that is a single strand and further codes for amino acids.

The mRNA transcript forms by the base pairing with the DNA template. If the DNA sequence is ATGGCACCTTAC then according to the base pairing rule the adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) in mRNA, and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). In mRNA, the adenine binds with uracil and not thymine, and hence A pairs with U, whereas the G-C bond remains the same.

The DNA strand: ATGGCACCTTAC

The mRNA sequence will be:  UACCGUGGAAUG

Therefore, option A. UACCGUGGAAUG is the mRNA transcript.
