Question

The following segment of DNA is from a transcribed region of a chromosome. You know that RNA polymerase moves from left to right along this piece of DNA, that the promoter for this gene is to the left of the DNA shown, and that this entire region of DNA is made into RNA. What is the RNA produced from this DNA?

Answer 1

The RNA produced from this DNA is called messenger RNA (mRNA) which carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes. The DNA segment shown will be transcribed into an mRNA molecule with the sequence: UAUGGCCAUUGG.

Step-by-step explanation:

The RNA produced from this DNA is called messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA is a single-stranded molecule that carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes, where it is used as a template for protein synthesis.

The process of transcription by RNA polymerase results in the synthesis of an RNA molecule that is complementary to the template DNA strand. In this case, the DNA segment shown will be transcribed into an mRNA molecule with the sequence: UAUGGCCAUUGG.
