Use nucleic-acid base-pair evidence

A nucleic-acid model in a Auckland molecular biology class shows a DNA template sequence TAC-GGA and an mRNA product AUG-CCU. Explain the base-pairing rule being used. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that best matches the HL Biology evidence.

Worked practice: biological evidence and answer

Use the labelled biological evidence first, then connect it to the final answer.
