Does RNA contain uracil in its nucleotide sequence?

Yes, RNA contains uracil in its nucleotide sequence instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.


What is a DNA terminator sequence?

A DNA terminator sequence is a specific nucleotide sequence that signals the end of transcription for RNA polymerase, thus stopping the synthesis of RNA from DNA. It usually contains a stem-loop structure that causes RNA polymerase to dissociate from the DNA template.


How does DNA template dictate the sequence of the RNA produced?

During transcription the DNA double helix is separated into two individual strands. Each strand may serve as a template for RNA polymerase, which travels along the DNA structure in a 3' to 5' direction. As it progresses down the strand, RNA polymerase synthesizes a pre-messenger RNA strand that is complementary to the sequence on the DNA template. For example if the DNA sequence on the template was 5' ATACA 3', then the pre mRNA sequence synthesized would be 3' UAUGU 5'. (Remember, RNA synthesis utilizes the nucleotide uracil instead of thyamine).


What determines the primary structure of an RNA molecule?

The primary structure of an RNA molecule is determined by the sequence of nucleotides (A, U, G, C) that are linked together through phosphodiester bonds in a specific order. This sequence is complementary to the DNA template from which the RNA is transcribed.


Is there a template for transcribing original DNA to base sequence of RNA?

Yes, to transcribe DNA to RNA, replace thymine (T) in DNA with uracil (U) in RNA. Simply write down the complementary RNA bases to the DNA bases following this rule to transcribe the original DNA sequence to RNA.

Why are introns copied and then removed from the RNA sequence?

Introns were copied and then removed from the RNA sequence because they were placeholders.


What does the genetic code specify the correlation between?

The genetic code refers to the nucleotide triplets of DNA and RNA molecules that carry genetic information. It specifies the correlation between an RNA-nucleotide sequence, as well as an amino-acid sequence.

How do you write an RNA sequence if given the DNA sequence?

Bases A and T link together and C and G link together. If your DNA sequence was, for example, ATCGAGT your RNA sequence would be TAGCTCA.


Which amino acid is coded for by the RNA sequence CUA?
