Question
You are an extraterrestrial geneticist working at
Area 51 to sequence the genome of a recently-
captured alien specimen. Following sequencing,
you discover a special gene ESF with the
DNA sequence: 5' -
5' - ATGACATATTAG 3'.
Unfortunately, another specimen in the facility
has caused a power outage due to its ability to
feed on energy, so you need to determine the
mRNA produced from that DNA template by
hand. Which of the following options below
illustrates the correct mRNA that would be
produced as a result of transcribing the DNA
strand that you identified?
