51. The template strand of a DNA molecule reads 3′-TACGGC-5′. The resulting mRNA sequence transcribed from this segment is

A. 5'-ATGCCG-3'
B. 5'-AUGCCG-3'
✓
C. 3'-AUGCCG-5'
D. 5'-UACDDC-3'

📝 Explanation

Transcription produces an RNA strand complementary and anti-parallel to the DNA template strand, replacing thymine with uracil.
