Question

Transcribe this sequence of DNA

TTT GTA GAT CTA GGA CTG ATC

Answer 1

To transcribe the given DNA sequence (which is in the 5' to 3' direction), we need to convert DNA bases to their corresponding RNA bases. In RNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) instead of thymine (T), and the other bases remain the same.

Here’s the transcription process:

DNA: 5' TTT GTA GAT CTA GGA CTG ATC 3'
RNA: 5' UUU GUA GAU CUA GGA CUG AUC 3'

So, the transcribed RNA sequence is:

**UUU GUA GAU CUA GGA CUG AUC**
