What modifications are necessary to rewrite the following DNA strand GGCATTGCA as a RNA strand?
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 :)
What sequence of bases would be complementary to A-G-C-T-A?
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
What do the template strands of DNA always begin with?
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!
What is non coding side of DNA for ATGC?
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.
Is transcription the manufacture of a strand of RNA complementary to a strand of DNA?
Yes. The strand of RNA is messenger RNA, mRNA.
If the sequence of bases in one strand C-A-A-G-T what is the sequence of bases on the matching strand?
the complimentary styrand would be: T-C-C-G-A-T
What molecule builds the new strand of RNA during transcription?
RNA Polymerase plays the largest role in unzipping the DNA strand and then synthesizing the RNA strand.
Is influenza single strand or double strand RNA?
It is single stranded RNA. Importantly, it is also a segmented genome that allows it to have large genetic diversity.
What is the coding DNA and mrna strand for the template strand 3' a-g-g-t-t-c-a-t 5'?
The top strand, which is drawn 5' to 3' and which contains the promoter sequences in the conventionally written orientation (such as the TATA box) and which has the same sequence as the new RNA (except for U instead of T) is the plus strand or the sense strand or the non template strand or the coding strand. The bottom 3' to 5' strand is the minus, or template, or antisense strand. Your sequence therefore is the coding strand, but the RNA is transcribed off of the non-coding, template, or antisense strand.
During DNA replication a DNA strand that has the bases CTAGGT produces a strand with what bases?
The answer to this is GAUCCAUG. The way to find this is simple. In RNA, Thymine (T) is changed to Uracil (U). So, when you switch DNA to RNA, you switch the letters around. (C=G A=T T=A and G=C.) [You switch the order]. However, when you do this, be sure when you insert a T in RNA, you make it a U instead.Transcription is the process of making a strand of RNA from a strand of DNA.
What enzyme is responsible for decodingthe DNA strand into an mRNA?
RNA Polymerase is the enzyme responsible for creating a strand of RNA.
Why is RNA needed to create proteins?
RNA is a single-stranded structure that is copied from an unzipped DNA strand identically, this is called transcription. The RNA strand contains the complementary base pairs for the DNA sequence. The DNA strand has sections that code for specific proteins, so when the RNA strand is created from the DNA, the RNA strand is then able to recreate the sequence that codes for the proteins. The RNA strand leaves the nucleus, via a nuclear pore, and enters the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm the RNA strand binds to two Ribosomal subunits, and translation is carried out, producing proteins.
