Question

Given the DNA sequence 3'TACCGAGGCATT 5', what is the transcribed mRNA sequence?

5
3'
4
4




Please help !!!

Answer 1

The correct answer is - 5' AUGGCUCCUAA 3' .

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA has four nitrogenous bases that are Thymine (T), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and adenine (A) arranged in it make a code. During transcription, the DNA template is transcribed into messenger RNA which is complementary to the DNA code.

RNA and DNA both have four bases but in RNA there is uracil (U) present instead of thymine which is complementary to the adenosine and also the ends are reversed so it can translate properly. U is complementary to A, C is complementary to G, and vice versa.

So, for DNA sequence - 3'TACCGAGGCATT 5'

mRNA would be 5' AUGGCUCCUAA 3'.
