The DNA sequence of the gene that codes for hemoglobin is shown below. Using what you know about protein synthesis, transcribe the DNA into mRNA.Hemoglobin Gene: TGC CGG AAA GTC TCC ACG

Sagot :

Answer:

Hemoglobin Gene (DNA) TGC CGG AAA GTC TCC ACG

(RNA) ACG GCC UUU CAG AGG UGC

Explanation:

-The process by which mRNA is made from DNA is transcription.

-During transcription, a strand of mRNA is made that is complementary to a strand of DNA.

-Base complementarity exists between a purine and a pyrimidine: Adenine pairs with thymine A-T (in DNA) while cytosine pairs with guanine G-C.

-In the transcription then, this complementarity of bases is respected. There is an enzyme that synthesizes the complementary bases to the DNA to form mRNA. Therefore, if there is T in DNA, it synthesizes A.

-The difference in mRNA is that instead of T, U is synthesized.
