Question

3)

Transcribe (transcription) the following DNA strand:

T-A-C-G-C-T-A-A-T

answer ________________

Answer 1

mRNA: A-U-G-C-A-U-U-A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given DNA template: T-A-C-G-C-T-A-A-T

Newly transcribed mRNA: A-U-G-C-A-U-U-A

Transcription is a process that uses DNA template strand to make RNA strands. The process occurs in nucleus. The nucleotide sequence of DNA template is always complimentary to its respective RNA sequence.

Here, thymine of DNA template strand pairs with adenine of newly formed RNA. Adenine of DNA template would pair with uracil of RNA. Guanine of DNA template pairs with cytosine.
