Detailed explanation-1: -The DNA sequence ACAGTGC would be coded as—UGUCACG.
Detailed explanation-2: -The coding region (also called coding sequence, or CDS), is the portion of the mRNA that is actually translated into protein. The mRNA also includes an untranslated region on each end, called the 5’ UTR and 3’ UTR. More: Exons can be spliced together in different combinations, in a process called alternative splicing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Expert-Verified Answer. Answer: Four amino acids can be coded for by this message.
Detailed explanation-4: -DNA utilizes four bases, adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), in its code. RNA also uses four bases. However, instead of using ‘T’ as DNA does, it uses uracil (U). Therefore, if your DNA sequence is 3’ T C G T T C A G T 5’, the mRNA sequence would be 5’ A G C A A G U C A 3’.
Detailed explanation-5: -During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink). The pre-mRNA is processed to form a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated to build the protein molecule (polypeptide) encoded by the original gene.
