When the mRNA strand is being formed, what base matches up to adenine?

Biology

pentagon [3]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Uracil

Explanation:

Transcription is the first stage of gene expression in a living cell and it involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule using a DNA template. The process of transcription is carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase, which initially binds to the PROMOTER region of a DNA, unwind its double-helix and begins to add nucleotide bases to the growing RNA strand based on the nucleotides it reads on the DNA.

The basis of nucleotide addition by RNA polymerase is COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T) and Guanine (G) with Cytosine (C). RNA polymerase adds to the RNA strand, nucleotides complementary to the ones it reads on the DNA. Since, Uracil base replaced Thymine in the RNA molecule, RNA polymerase adds Uracil to the RNA strand, for every Adenine it reads on the DNA template.

Predict what the calf produced in a union between each of these parents might look like. Explain your answers.
Charra [1.4K]
We know that purebred means that the organism contains the same alleles for the trait and hybrid means that it contains two different alleles for the trait. Dominant means that it will be shown in a hybrid and a purebred, but recessive traits will only be shown in purebred recessive organisms.

a) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull, would be all hybrid brown (dominant). This is because as I stated above, dominant traits are shown when the offspring has both dominant and recessive alleles for the same trait.

b) The offspring of a purebred brown (dominant) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull would all be purebred brown (dominant). This is because if both of the parents have only alleles that code for brown color, the only color that the offspring can be is brown.

c) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred white (recessive ) bull would all be purebred white (recessive), for the same reason stated above in part b), the only difference being that the alleles are recessive and code for white color instead of being dominant and coding for brown color.

d) The offspring of a hybrid brown (dominant) cow and a purebred white (recessive) bull would be half hybrid brown (dominant) and half purebred white (recessive). This can be seen best if you set up a Punnett Square, which is a diagram that shows allele frequencies in offspring. This shows you that the chance that the offspring get the dominant allele from the mother cow is 50%, thus 50% would be hybrid brown (dominant), as the father can contribute only a recessive white allele. The other 50% would be purebred white (recessive) because the mother cow would be contributing a white allele and so would the father.

Hope this helps! :)
