Answer:

ACGUUA

Explanation:

Transcription is a process that makes mRNA using the DNA template strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase adds ribonucleotides complementary to the sequence of the DNA template strand. RNA lacks the "thymine" and instead has the "uracil". Adenine base in the DNA sequence is transcribed into the “uracil" base in the corresponding RNA. Similarly, "guanine" in the DNA template strand specifies the "cytosine" base in the transcribed RNA.

Therefore, if a DNA template strand has a sequence "TGCAAT", the corresponding mRNA would have a sequence of "ACGUUA".

Answer:

The diagram is depicting that light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from air and water from soil are required for producing sugars and oxygen by the plant. The sugars produced by the process of photosynthesis is glucose. Oxygen is produced as by-product of this reaction. The glucose produced by the plant cells is utilized to carry out essential functions whereas the oxygen is mostly released into the air and it is also used for cellular respiration.
