dna template of auc? dna template of met?
would that be ATC or TAG?
Met's rna temp would be AUG. so its dna is TAC? or ATG?
im confused.
I can understand why you might be confused, but I'll be happy to help clarify things for you.
In DNA, there are base pairs that make up the genetic code. Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G). When determining the DNA template for a particular RNA sequence, you need to replace Uracil (U) in the RNA sequence with Thymine (T) in the DNA sequence.
For the RNA sequence "AUC," to find the corresponding DNA template, you would replace the U with T, giving you "ATC."
Similarly, for the RNA sequence "Met" (which stands for Methionine), the corresponding RNA template would be "AUG." To find the DNA template, you would replace U with T, resulting in "ATG."
So, to recap:
- The DNA template for the RNA sequence "AUC" is "ATC."
- The DNA template for the RNA sequence "Met" (AUG) is "ATG."
Remember that the DNA template strand is always complementary to the RNA transcript, with U being replaced by T.
