following the base pairing rules which mRNA nucleotides would be added to the following DNA strand? remember in RNA the base adenine pairs with uracil there is not thymine in RNA
G
T
C
A
C
A
Word bank: C A U G U G U A C A T
The mRNA nucleotides added to the DNA strand would be:
C G A U G U G U A C U
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Here is the correct answer:
Following the base pairing rules, the mRNA nucleotides added to the given DNA strand would be:
C A G U G U G U A G U
To determine the mRNA nucleotides that would be added to the given DNA strand while following the base pairing rules, we need to apply the complementary base pairing rules between DNA and RNA.
In DNA, the nucleotides pair as follows:
- Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T)
- Thymine (T) pairs with Adenine (A)
- Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G)
- Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C)
However, in RNA, instead of pairing with Thymine (T), Adenine (A) pairs with Uracil (U).
Given the DNA sequence: G T C A C A
We need to replace each DNA nucleotide with its complementary RNA base pair.
G (Guanine) pairs with C (Cytosine)
T (Thymine) pairs with A (Adenine)
C (Cytosine) pairs with G (Guanine)
A (Adenine) pairs with U (Uracil)
C (Cytosine) pairs with G (Guanine)
A (Adenine) pairs with U (Uracil)
Therefore, the mRNA nucleotides that would be added to the given DNA strand are:
C (Cytosine), A (Adenine), G (Guanine), U (Uracil), G (Guanine), U (Uracil)
Using the word bank: C A U G U G U A C A T
