Question

Under each DNA sequence write the complimentary mRNA base sequence that each of these gene fragments would produce. Remember that in the production of mRNA, the DNA base sequence "A" _________________ specifies the RNA base ____________________

Answer 1

The correct answer would be -

Thymine to adenine

Cytosine to guanine

guanine to cytosine

Adenine, and "U" uracil respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

mRNA is a sequence of complementary base sequences encoded from a gene or DNA segment which is used to produce the protein by the process called translation.

From converting a sequence from DNA to its complementary mRNA sequence, the rules of complementary base pairing will be applied: Cytosine (C) is replaced with Guanine (G) – and vice versa. Uracil (U) is replaced by Adenine (A) and Thymine is replaced by adenine.
