Thymine is the complementary base for adenine during DNA transcription. During RNA transcription, however, uracil is the complementary base for adenine.

The complementary base for cytosine is guanine. Adenine bonds with thymine as cytosine bonds with guanine in DNA but in RNA thymine is replaced with Uracil.

During transcription if the dna has the base adenine the resulting bases on the mRNA is?

During transcription, the resulting bases on the mRNA if the DNA has the base adenine is Proteins.


What nitrogen base is found during the process of transcription that is NOT found during the process of replication?

The Gulf War


In DNA A pairs with?

A stands for adenine, one of the four nitrogen-containing bases in DNA. By the rules of complementary base pairing, A always pairs with T (thymine). Adenine is a purine (a base with a double ring structure). T is a pyrimidine (a base with a single ring structure). Each pair of bases always consists of a purine and a pyrimidine. A and T form two hydrogen bonds between them; G and C form three.

What would be the mrna base sequence formed during transcription using the DNA sequence below?

Transcription produces a strand of messenger RNA that is complementary to the DNA that it transcribed. For example, the DNA sequence AGTCGA would be transcribed by messenger RNA as UCAGCU.


What is the explanation for the Role of RNA polymerase?

Basically, RNA polymerase's role is very similar to that of DNA polymerase. RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is used during transcription in the nucleus. Similar to DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase codes for the complementary nucleotides to a DNA strand. Instead of thymine though, uracil codes with adenine. This coded mRNA strand then travels from the nucleus to the ribsome where translation occurs - the result is protein made from an amino acid chain. To answer your main question - RNA polyermase adds the complementary nucleotides to the DNA strand using uracil instead of thymine. hope that helps :)

How are DNA replication and transcription similar?

RNA molecules produced by transcription are much shorter in length than DNA molecules produced by replication. Also in DNA replication the compliment of Adenine is Thymine. In transcription the compliment of Adenine is Uracil.

During what process are rna molecules produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of dna into a complementary sequence in rna?

Transcription.


What are the base pairing rules of rna?

DNA: Adenine - Thymine Guanine - Cytosine RNA (URACIL REPLACES THYMINE!): Adenine - Uracil Guanine - Cytosine


During transcription an RNA molecule does what?

During transcription an RNA Molecule is formed inside the nucleus. The DNA is too large to leave the nucleus and participates directly in the cytoplasmic protein synthesis. It is necessary to make a small copy of Messenger RNA that will migrate out of the nuclear pore in to the cytoplasm.


Why both strands of DNA are not copied during transcription?

since rna is single stranded........it only needs one complementary strand......!


What bases pair with each other during transcription?

Adenine pairs with Uracil and Guanine pairs with Cytosine Cytosine pairs with Guanine. There is no thymine in RNA


What does uracil pair with during the transcription process?

A's with T's, G's with C's in DNA. A's with U's, G's with C's in RNA. In transcription an RNA copy of the DNA is being made. So uracil pairs with adenine.
