### Gene Sequence Transcription

A segment of a protein-encoding gene sequence is given below:

- **Template Strand (Bottom Strand)**:
  3'-TTCAAACCGTGA-5'
  
- **Coding Strand (Top Strand)**:
  5'-AAGTTTGGCACT-3'

---

### Quiz Question

**What is the RNA sequence that would be transcribed off of the bottom strand?**

_Select the correct answer from the options below:_

- **Option A:**
  5'-AAGTTTGGCACT-3'
  
- **Option B:**
  5'-TTCAAACCGTGA-3'
  
- **Option C:**
  5'-AAGUUUGGCACU-3'
  
- **Option D:**
  5'-UUCAAACCGUGA-3'

---

**Explanation**: RNA is synthesized from the template strand of DNA. During the transcription process, RNA polymerase reads the template DNA strand and synthesizes a complementary RNA sequence. The RNA sequence is complementary to the template strand and identical to the coding strand, except uracil (U) replaces thymine (T).

---

**Answer**: The correct answer is **Option C: 5'-AAGUUUGGCACU-3'**

---

**Diagram Explanation**: 

There are no diagrams in this content. If there were to be any diagrams or graphs, a detailed explanation would be included here.

---

**Additional Notes**: 

Understanding the process of transcription, where the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into RNA, is crucial for grasping how genetic information is expressed within an organism.
