Question
In this depiction of trascription, the ___ strand is ___ because it ___.
 
upper; RNA; contains guanine
 
upper; RNA; has no uracil
 
lower; DNA; contains adenine
 
lower; RNA; contains thymine
 
upper; RNA; contains uracil
The image illustrates a segment of RNA paired with a complementary DNA sequence. 

- The top row, shown in brown, represents the RNA sequence: CCUCUUCAG.
- The complementary DNA sequence is shown in blue on the bottom row: GGAGAAGTC.

Each nucleotide in the RNA strand is paired with its corresponding base in the DNA strand:
- C (Cytosine) pairs with G (Guanine)
- U (Uracil in RNA, replaced by Thymine T in DNA) pairs with A (Adenine)
- A (Adenine) pairs with T (Thymine)
- G (Guanine) pairs with C (Cytosine) 

The diagram visually demonstrates the base-pairing rules, crucial for understanding processes such as transcription and translation in molecular biology.
