If a portion of a DNA strand has the base sequence ACGACG, what will be the base sequence of the mRNA strand transcribed?

Respuesta :

The mRNA sequence will be UGCUGC

A matches up with U G matches up with C and vice versa

Answer:

The sequence will be UGCUGC

Explanation:

Transcription is the process by which a messenger RNA molecule is synthesized from a DNA template. The reaction is catalyzed by RNA polymerase and always occurs in the 5'-3 'direction. The double-stranded DNA strand that is transcribed is called an antisense strand. The sequence of the synthesized RNA molecule is a copy of it, with thymine being replaced by uracil. In this case, if the sequence of nitrogenous bases in the DNA is "ACGACG", the messenger RNA will have the sequence "UGCUGC".
