Solution

The correct option is B UCGACUGAUACUA

During base pairing, adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) in case of DNA while it pairs with uracil (U) in case of RNA. On the other hand, guanine always pairs with cytosine both in DNA and RNA.

So for the given sequence of DNA: AGCTGACTATGAT

Base sequence of mRNA will be: UCGACUGAUACUA
