Suppose that a portion of double-stranded DNA in the middle of a large gene is being transcribed by an RNA polymerase. As the po
lymerase moves through the sequence of six bases shown in the diagram below, what is the corresponding sequence of bases in the RNA that is produced?Coding Strand3'CCGAGT5'5'GGCTCA3'Template StrandEnter the sequence of bases as capital letters with no spaces and no punctuation. Begin with the first base added to the growing RNA strand, and end with the last base added.
After the transcription process, the corresponding sequence of bases in the RNA that will be produced is 3CCGACU5. This is close to the coding strand with a slight difference in the change of thymine to uracil.
Explanation:
The RNA polymerase reads the template strand upstream to obtain a sequence with the same codons as the coding strands, but since the product is an RNA, it therefore exchange the thymine to uracil, therefore the product that should be expected from this transcription process is: 3CCGACU5.
