A transcribing DNA strand contains the base sequence CGGAATCGT. What will be the base sequence in the mRNA transcribed from it? What is the role of tRNA?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the mRNA sequence that would be transcribed from a given DNA sequence (CGGAATCGT) and what the role of tRNA is in the process. We will determine the complementary mRNA sequence and describe tRNA's function.
Answer
GCCUUAGCA; tRNA transports amino acids during translation.
The mRNA sequence transcribed from CGGAATCGT is GCCUUAGCA. The role of tRNA is to transport specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation, matching its anticodons with the mRNA codons.
Answer for screen readers
The mRNA sequence transcribed from CGGAATCGT is GCCUUAGCA. The role of tRNA is to transport specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation, matching its anticodons with the mRNA codons.
More Information
Transcription is the first step in gene expression, where a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA. tRNA has anticodons that correspond to the codons on the mRNA, ensuring the correct sequence of amino acids.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the DNA template with the coding strand. Remember, in RNA, uracil (U) replaces thymine (T).
