cDNA of the gene/mRNA for which you want to make complementary RNA is cloned into special plasmid vectors that have promoters at either ends of the multiple cloning sites (MCS). Using RNA polymerase and nucleotides you can now synthesize RNA complementary to the original mRNA. This is called complementary RNA (cRNA).

What does DNA do after it is copied?

It joins up with its complementary strand. I may then be used to make RNA.


What is three nucleotides on transfer RNA that are complementary to the three nucleotides on messenger RNA?

There are four nucleotides in tRNA that are complementary to the four nucleotides on mRNA. Both types of RNA contain the nucleotides adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. In both types of RNA adenine is complementary to uracil, and cytosine is complementary to guanine.


What process does a cell use to make an RNA copy of a segment of DNA?

The process a cell uses to make an RNA copy of a segment of DNA is called transcription. During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the DNA at a specific region called the promoter. It then unwinds the DNA strands and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by adding RNA nucleotides that are complementary to the DNA template. Once the RNA strand is complete, it undergoes processing before being translated into proteins.


What enzyeme helps a cell to make a strand of rna?

RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA strands during transcription in a cell. It reads the DNA template strand and adds complementary RNA nucleotides to form an RNA strand.


Which rna nucleotide is complementary to thymine?

In RNA, the nucleotide that is complementary to thymine (T) is adenine (A). While thymine is present in DNA, RNA uses uracil (U) instead of thymine. Therefore, when pairing with adenine in RNA, thymine's complement is uracil.

If a DNA segment has the necleotides AGCCTAA what would be the nucleotide sequence of the complementary rna strand?

The complementary RNA strand is synthesized based on the DNA template, where adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) in RNA, cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G), and vice versa. For the DNA segment AGCCTAA, the complementary RNA sequence would be UCGGAUU.


What are long strands of rna that are complementary to one strand of DNA?

Long strands of RNA that are complementary to one strand of DNA are called messenger RNA (mRNA). During the process of transcription, RNA polymerase synthesizes mRNA by using one strand of DNA as a template, creating a complementary RNA sequence. This mRNA then carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes, where it is translated into proteins.
