The sequence of bases on part of a molecule of DNA is shown.

$T A C A A A T G A C C A$ Sense strand

$A T G T T T A C T G G T$ Antisense strand

What is the sequence of bases in mRNA transcribed from this sequence?

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The sense strand is the strand of DNA that has the same sequence as the mRNA, which takes the antisense strand as its template during transcription in making the mRNA.

mRNA and DNA (sense strand) have the same sequence except for the U in mRNA and are replaced by T in DNA (sense strand). If the antisense strand sequence is ATGTTTACTGGT, then the mRNA sequence will be UACAAAUGAGACCA.
