Understanding the Process
* DNA to mRNA: The process of creating mRNA from DNA is called transcription.
* Base Pairing: DNA and RNA use different bases, but they pair up in a specific way:
* Adenine (A) in DNA pairs with Uracil (U) in RNA
* Thymine (T) in DNA pairs with Adenine (A) in RNA
* Guanine (G) in DNA pairs with Cytosine (C) in RNA
* Cytosine (C) in DNA pairs with Guanine (G) in RNA
Transcription:
1. Identify the template strand: You provided a single strand of DNA, so we'll assume it's the template strand.
2. Replace T with U: During transcription, thymine (T) in DNA is replaced with uracil (U) in mRNA.
Therefore, the mRNA sequence would be:
