Question

transcribe the highlighted portion of DNA into mRNA transcription mRNA copies of DNA into RNA using complementary bases

Answer 1

Ans. The correct answer is 'A-U-G-G-C-A.'

Transcription involves synthesis of mRNA molecule from a parent DNA molecule, with the help of RNA polymerase enzyme.

The RNA polymerase adds nucleotides in the growing RNA chain by reading template DNA strand, according to complementary base pairing, i.e., adenine binds with uracil, thymine binds with adenine, and cytosine binds with guanine, and guanine binds with cytosine.

Template DNA strand is :   T-A-C-C-G-T

The mRNA strand will be: A-U-G-G-C-A.

Answer 2

A - U - G - G - C - A
