I's Pretty Simple if you think about it, when it comes to DNA strands it just are its oppsoites, so it would be
T=A
A=T
C=G
G=C
However when itis mRNA strands the A=T Turns into A=U
so if this was a DNA it would look like
A-A-G-C-G-A-C-T-T
but as a mRNA strand it becomes
A-A-G-C-G-A-C-U-U so it changed the A into a U instead of A into T. Do you understand?
6. The gene for a large single eyeball is coded by the gene sequence TTCGCTGAA. Let’s go through transcription…
DNA Strand- T-T-C-G-C-T-G-A-A
mRNA Strand- _____________________________
7. Now, let’s look at the gene for green body color, which is GGACTCTAG. With your group (or on your own if you are not completing this with us live), determine the complementary mRNA strand…
DNA Strand 2- G-G-A-C-T-C-T-A-G
mRNA Strand 2 _____________________________
Biology isn't my strong suit, can anyone help? I'm after an explanation more than answers..
