To determine the resulting RNA strand from the DNA sequence given (ACG TAG CCA), we need to transcribe the DNA sequence into RNA. The transcription process involves replacing thymine (T) in DNA with uracil (U) in RNA, while the other bases (A, C, G) remain the same.
Here’s the transcription process step-by-step for the given DNA sequence:
- A (Adenine) in DNA corresponds to U (Uracil) in RNA.
- C (Cytosine) in DNA corresponds to G (Guanine) in RNA.
- G (Guanine) in DNA corresponds to C (Cytosine) in RNA.
- T (Thymine) in DNA corresponds to A (Adenine) in RNA.
Now let's transcribe each base from the DNA sequence:
- A → U
- C → G
- G → C
- T → A
- A → U
- G → C
- C → G
- C → G
- A → U
So the transcription of the entire DNA sequence ACG TAG CCA would be:
- ACG → UGC
- TAG → AUC
- CCA → GGU
Putting it all together, the resulting RNA strand is:
UGC AUC GGU
So, the answer is UGC AUC GGU.
