A researcher attempts to artificially synthesize mRNA in a lab. However, she makes an error by
adding DNA nucleotides and not RNA nucleotides. What effect would this error have on
transcription?
a.Most of mRNA will be synthesized because DNA and RNA nucleotides are the same.
b.mRNA synthesis will occur because DNA nucleotides readily convert to RNA nucleotides in transcription.
c.mRNA will not be synthesized because the DNA nucleotides will bind to the promoter.
d.mRNA will not be synthesized because there are no RNA nucleotides to pair with a DNA strand.
