It stands for one of 4 bases in RNA, guanine.
I always place the "strand" vertically. G G C A T T G C A Then i think.. what bonds with what? G with C A with T and when RNA A with U. So in order for the DNA strand and the RNA strand to bond.. they have to have the appropriate reflections. G - C G - C C - G A - U T - A T - A G - C C - G A - U Therefore you're modifications have been made and your RNA strand is this: CCGUAACGU Hope this helps :)
To determine the first three nucleotides of the complementary RNA strand, you need to match the DNA bases with their RNA counterparts. In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) in RNA, thymine (T) pairs with adenine (A), cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). If the first three nucleotides of the DNA strand are, for example, A, T, and C, the complementary RNA strand would have U, A, and G as its first three nucleotides.
The non-coding side of DNA, also known as the non-coding strand or the template strand, serves as a blueprint for producing RNA molecules during the process of transcription. Unlike the coding strand, which has the same sequence as the RNA product, the non-coding strand has a complementary sequence to the RNA molecule, with the nucleotides A, T, G, and C pairing respectively with U, A, C, and G in RNA.
DNA is made of of two complimentary strands, the coding strand and the template strand. When DNA is transcribed (made into messenger RNA which can be converted by ribosomes into proteins) the DNA splits open and free nucleotide bases bind to the template strand. DNA is made of T/C/G/A and RNA is made of U/C/G/A nucleotide bases. G and C bind (they are said to be 'complimentary') A and T bind and in RNA U and A bind (so U replaces T.) The newly formed RNA strand (made on the template stand of DNA) is 'complimentary' to the template but the same as the coding strand of DNA. Hence the template is used to produce RNA which is a copy of the coding strand. Either strand of DNA can act as the template/coding strand. Hope that is a little bit helpful!
DNA:T-C-G-A-TmRNA:U-C-G-A-UmRNA rule: switch T with U_________________________________________Although the above answer is correct in that there are no thymines (T) in RNA, I must disagree with the rest of the answer. The mRNA strand given in the answer above would be the identical strand made from RNA, not the complementary strand as the question asked for.A complementary strand is produced by an RNA or DNA polymerase from a template DNA strand.Therefore, if the template DNA strand were T-C-G-A-T, then:The complementary DNA strand would be A-G-C-T-AThe complementary RNA strand would be A-G-C-U-A
RNA polymerase builds the new strand of RNA during transcription. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides to create the complementary RNA strand based on the DNA template strand.
The replacement for thymine in an RNA strand is uracil.
Yes, RNA is composed of a single strand of nucleotides.
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that uses one strand of DNA as a template to assemble nucleotides into a strand of RNA during transcription.
The newly synthesized RNA molecule is complementary to the DNA template strand. It pairs with the template strand through base pairing rules (A with U, T with A, G with C, and C with G) to create an mRNA transcript that corresponds to the DNA sequence.
During transcription, RNA polymerase uses the template strand of DNA to create a complementary RNA strand.
During transcription, the base added to an RNA strand is determined by complementary base pairing with the template DNA strand. RNA polymerase synthesizes the RNA strand by matching RNA nucleotides to the exposed DNA bases, following the rules of base pairing (A-U and G-C).
