Given the following CODING STRAND of DNA: ATG TTT CAT GGC TGA TAA
- What is the complimentary template strand of DNA?
- What would be the mRNA CODON sequence?
- What is the anti-CODON of tRNA? And which AMINO ACID would the tRNA bring?
The sequence of DNA that is copied during the synthesis of mRNA are referred to as Template strand.
To display the DNA sequence coding strand is used. It is presented in 5' to 3' direction.
DNA contains two antiparallel strands of polynucleotides composed of
In RNA T is replaced by U(uracil).
A forms two hydrogen bonds with T in DNA and with U in RNA. While C forms three hydrogen bonds with G.
TAC AAA GTA CCG ACT ATT
AUG UUU CAU GGC UGA USA
Note: In RNA T is replaced by U.
Example: tRNA having anti-CODON GCG codes for alanine amino acid is complementary to CODON CGC codes fif argenine amino acid.
