If the base sequence of template strand is GCCATTAC what would the base sequence of the mRNA?

The mRNA will have codons AUG-CCA-GUA-GGC-CAC


How would the following base sequence be coded for in mrna cag tgc acg?

Recall for any DNA sequence, there are actually two sequences because DNA is a double helix composed of two strands. By convention (a thankfully logical convention) we typically record the DNA sequence of the "sense strand" from the 5' end to the 3' end. The sense strand was chosen because the sense DNA sequence is exactly the same as the mRNA sequence except that it has T's where RNA has U's. Thus if the sequence you provided is the sense strand 5'-acagtgc-3', then the mRNA sequence would be 5'-acagugc-3'. However, if what you were asking for is what mRNA sequence would be transcribed from the given DNA sequence, that would depend if you'd given me the sequence 5' to 3' or 3' to 5'. If you've given me the sequence of the antisense strand, 3' to 5' (that is, if you're asking what would happen if an RNA polymerase landed at the left of the sequence and began moving right) the mRNA sequence would be ugucacg. If you've given me the sequence of the antisense strand 5' to 3', then the answer would be gcacugu. I'm sorry if I made this more complicated for you.... I have a feeling you were looking for a simpler answer than this.


If a portion of a DNA strand has the base sequence ACGACG what will be the base sequence of the mRNA strand transcribed?

That mRNA sequence had to come from the complement to it. Remeber that the sequence is normally read 5' to 3'. The complement that produced it would be seen in the 3' to 5' orientation (reverse) during transcription. Therefore, find the complement source by reading the sequence in reverse and making the following substitutions: a becomes t, u becomes a, g becomes c, and c becomes g. The result is the following DNA source sequence read 5' to 3': ctaagtcgcaatttttggcat.


DNA sequence acgtt will give what mRNA base sequence?

UGCAA


The order of bases in a molecule of mRNA is determined by the sequence?

The base sequence of mRnas is 'determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in Dna.' The base sequence is transformed into information via the triplet codons of The Genetic Code.

What is is called when RNA copies to DNA?

When RNA's base sequence is used to determine the base sequence of a new strand of DNA, that is called reverse transcription.This is because the process is the reverse of transcription, which involves copying the base sequence of DNA to form RNA, including messenger RNA (mRNA).


What would the DNA sequence have been for the following mrna strand cuc-aag-ugc-uuc?

mRNA forms a complementary sequence to the DNA it is transcribed from. Therefore, the DNA strand would be the complement (opposite base pair) from what is present in the mRNA. Also, remember that RNA uses uracil (U) in place of thymine (T). For the mRNA strand CUC-AAG-UGC-UUC, the complementary DNA strand would be GAG-TTC-ACG-AAG.

Difference between sense and anti sense strands of DNA?

The sense strand has the same base sequence as mRNA with uracil instead of thymine. The antisense strand is transcribed.
