It's not a strand that is replaced, but a nitrogen base, much like adenine. The pyrimidine thymine is replaced by another pyrimidine uracil.

Which type of mRNA nucleotide pairs thymine in the DNA strand?

Uracil pairs with adenine in mRNA and replaces thymine in the DNA strand during transcription.


What is the base sequence for a DNA strand when given the sequence for a mRNA strand?

To determine the base sequence of a DNA strand from a given mRNA sequence, you need to consider that mRNA is synthesized from the DNA template strand through a process called transcription. The mRNA bases pair with their complementary DNA bases, where adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), uracil (U) in mRNA pairs with adenine (A) in DNA, cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). Therefore, to find the DNA base sequence, you can convert the mRNA sequence to its corresponding DNA sequence by replacing U with A and reversing the order to get the complementary DNA strand.


Which structure pair with the adenine nucleotide during the formation of messager RNA?

During the formation of messenger RNA (mRNA), adenine pairs with uracil in RNA. This occurs during transcription, where RNA polymerase synthesizes the mRNA strand by using the DNA template. The adenine nucleotide from the DNA template binds to uracil in the growing mRNA strand, replacing the thymine found in DNA.


Is rna transcript identical to the template strand of DNA?

No. Messenger RNA forms a complementary strand in which each DNA base is paired with its complementary base in mRNA. For example, if the DNA sequence is AGCTTG, the mRNA sequence will be UCGAAC. Notice that U for uracil in RNA pairs with adenine in DNA. This is because uracil takes the place of thymine in RNA.


Does mRNA use thymine or adenine in its genetic code?

It will use adenine, but thymine will be replaced by a nitrogen base called "uracil" in mRNA


What is the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA strand you built?

The nucleotide sequence of the mRNA strand is determined by the template DNA strand during transcription. It is complementary to the DNA template and consists of adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). For example, if the DNA template strand is 3'-ATCGTACG-5', the corresponding mRNA sequence would be 5'-UAGCAUGC-3'.


Is thera a Drawing of a mRNA srand that is complementary to the DNA strand aattgc?

Yes, the mRNA strand complementary to the DNA sequence AATTGC would be UUAACG. This is due to the selective base pairing rules between adenine (A) and uracil (U), thymine (T) and adenine (A), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).


Which strand of mRNA would be made during transcription using the DNA strand shown below GCA TTA?

During transcription, the mRNA strand is synthesized complementary to the DNA template strand. For the DNA strand GCA TTA, the corresponding mRNA would be CGU AAU. This is because adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) in RNA, while cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G) and vice versa.


How did you know which bases to use when you transcribed the DNA sequence to mRNA codons?

In transcription, the mRNA strand is formed by complementary base pairing of the template DNA strand. However we should note that the nitrogenous bases in mRNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil, while those in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.So the mRNA strand would be formed by matching the A in DNA with U in mRNA, T in DNA with A in mRNA, C in DNA with G in mRNA and G in DNA with C in mRNA.I hope that helps!


How do you find the mRNA base sequence?

To find the mRNA base sequence, you first need to identify the corresponding DNA template strand. The mRNA is synthesized by RNA polymerase during transcription, where it complements the DNA template. In this process, adenine (A) in DNA pairs with uracil (U) in mRNA, while thymine (T) pairs with adenine (A), cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). The resulting mRNA sequence is a copy of the coding DNA strand, substituting uracil for thymine.

If the strand of DNA has the nucleotides TACCGGACCTGAAGT what would the mRNA strand be?

First of all, it is codons,not condons. MRNA would have uug auc cca. If I am not incorrect, you only use the term codons for MRNA, not in the actual DNA strand. The Anticodons would then be in the TRNA, which codes for the Amino Acids needed by the cells.
