Question

Consider the following DNA molecule: 5' TTC CAT GGA 3' 3' AAG GTA CCT 5' If this molecule were transcribed, what would be the resulting RNA molecule

Answer 1

DNA strand: 5' TTC CAT GGA 3'

RNA strand: 3' AAG GUA CCU 5'

Step-by-step explanation:

From the DNA template, an RNA molecule will be transcribed that is single stranded. So, it will read off the code from the 5' to 3' strand of DNA to create the RNA molecule made of complementary bases, in triplet codons. The enzyme that carries out this function is RNA polymerase.
