Kaili is setting up a PCR reaction. She knows that a very important enzyme is used for PCR. The enzyme is called Taq polymerase. It is called that because the Taq stands for Thermus aquaticus, which is the bacterium that was discovered in hot springs many years ago. Kaili knows that the enzyme is a protein. She therefore knows that the protein came from an RNA sequence, which was originally encoded by a DNA sequence. Three of the following DNA sequences are most likely to encode the RNA that encodes the Taq enzyme. What are they? Choose all that apply and only those that apply.

5ACGTGCAGTGAGCCT-3
5CAGTGGCAGTGACCT-3
5TCATAACAGTGACCT-3
5AGTGACAGTGACCAT-3
