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.


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


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).


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!


A segment of DNA has the following sequence ttaaggcc which sequence of bases would be found on the complementary strand of mrna?

TGCA


If the sequence of bases in one DNA strand is TAG then the sequence of bases in the other strand will be?

The corresponding mRNA strand would be AUCG.


Which strand of mrna would be made during transcription using the DNA strand ctg ata?

gac uau Gac uau GAC UAU


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.


How is dna made into mRNA?

DNA is not made into mRNA, it is transcribed by mRNA. The DNA molecule is split into two strands by the enzyme helicase. One strand is the sense strand and the other is the anti-sense strand. Then mRNA nucleotides pair with their complimentary DNA bases on the antisense strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase causes the mRNA nucleotides to bond with one another, forming a strand of mRNA.


Adenine will only bond with one specific base in DNA strand what is it called?

Adenine only binds with Thymine, and Guanine only binds to Cytosine in DNA. In RNA however,Thymine is replaced with Uracil which binds to Adenine.


A DNA strand with the base sequence tgacgca codes for a strand of mrna the mrna will have what base sequence?

The mRNA sequence generated from the DNA strand tgacgca would be acugcgu. This is because mRNA is complementary to the DNA template strand, so DNA base T pairs with mRNA base A, DNA base G pairs with mRNA base C, DNA base A pairs with mRNA base U, and DNA base C pairs with mRNA base G.
