RNA Synthesis
The sequence of bases in a part of the DNA template strand is — C — G — A — T — C — A — .What corresponding mRNA is produced?
Step-by-Step
To form mRNA, the bases in the DNA template strand are paired with their complementary bases: G with C, C with G, T with A, and A with U.
\begin{array}{l} \text{DNA template} & — \underset{\downarrow}{\mathrm C } — \underset{\downarrow}{\mathrm G} — \underset{\downarrow}{\mathrm A} — \underset{\downarrow}{\mathrm T} — \underset{\downarrow}{\mathrm C} — \underset{\downarrow}{\mathrm A} — \\ \text{Complementary bases in mRNA} & — \mathrm G — \mathrm C — \mathrm U — \mathrm A — \mathrm G — \mathrm U — \end{array}
