A researcher conducted studies on proteins obtained from mouse livers. He discovered a novel protein and decided to study its ge
netic origins. During his tests, the researcher found the mRNA sequence AUUCGGUACUGUACUAGC. What is the DNA sequence that was used for synthesizing this mRNA sequence?
Transcription is the process of transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, typically to a messenger RNA (mRNA). During transcription, a particular DNA sequence called 'gene' is used as template to create an mRNA which is subsequently used to synthesize a protein by the process of translation. During this process (transcription), Uracil (U) bases pair with Adenine (A) and replace thymine (T) bases in RNA.
