Answer:
The RNA strand that is transcribed from the DNA strand sequence ATG-CAG-AGA is UAC-GUC-UCU, according to the complementarity of nitrogenous bases.
Explanation:
In order for DNA to RNA transcription to occur, one must be aware that:
- The transcription meets the criteria of base complementarity, where a purine binds to a pyrimidine.
- In RNA there is no thymine, so it is replaced by uracil.
Given a given sequence of bases the RNA resulting from transcription will be governed by these rules:
DNA: ATG-CAG-AGA
RNA: UAC-GUC-UCU
Where:
- Adenine is transcribed in Uracil.
- Thymine (DNA) is transcribed into Adenine.
- Cytosine is transcribed into Guanine.
- Guanine is transcribed into Cytosine.
