Given the DNA sequence -- 5’ CTCTCCCCCGCGGGGGCTGTACTATCATGCGTCGTCTCGGUUAAUUU 3’ determine the mRNA sequence. (N.B. Answer must identify the 5' and 3' ends.)

Respuesta :

During transcription, a fragment of DNA is used as template to synthesize a complementary mRNA molecule. Subsequently, this mRNA is in turn used as a template to synthesize a protein by a process called translation.

In this case, the complementary mRNA sequence is:

  • 3´GAGAGGGGGCGCCCCCGACAUGAUAGUACGCAGCAGAGCCAAUUAAA 5´

  • Transcription is a molecular mechanism by which a fragment of DNA (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence, usually a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence.

  • Subsequently, this mRNA sequence is then used as a template to produce a polypeptide chain in the ribosomes by a process called translation.

  • According to the base complementarity rules, Adenine always pairs with Thymine, whereas Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.

  • In RNA, Thymine (T) bases are replaced by Uracil (U).
