Solution
The correct complementary base pairing of DNA with mRNA during transcription is A-U and G-C.
Here's the step by step process:
-
Transcription begins with the unwinding of the DNA double helix by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
-
The RNA polymerase then reads the DNA template strand and synthesizes a complementary mRNA strand.
-
In this process, the DNA base Adenine (A) pairs with Uracil (U) in mRNA, and the DNA base Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C) in mRNA.
-
Thymine (T) in DNA pairs with Adenine (A) in mRNA.
So, the correct answer is A-U and G-C.
