question 44

Multiple Choice

Suppose that the RNA sequence shown here is a target for a microRNA. 5'-AAUGCUACG-3'

• \(3^{\prime}-\text {UUACGAUGC-5' }\)
• B) \(\begin{array}{l}
• 5^{\prime}-\text {UUACGAUGC-3' } \\
• 3^{\prime}-\text {AAUGCUACG-5' }
• \end{array}\)
• C) \(\begin{array}{l}
• 5^{\prime}-\text {CGUAGCAUU-3' } \\
• 3^{\prime}-\text {GCAUCGUAA-5' }
• \end{array}\)
• D) \(\begin{array}{l}
• 5^{\prime}-\text {GCAUCGUAA-3' } \\
• 3^{\prime}-\text {-CGUAGCAUU-5' }
• \end{array}\)
