Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The bases in mRNA are grouped into sets of three called codons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The template strand of DNA has AAA sequence, which will be transcribed to mRNA as UUU.
Detailed explanation-4: -4, the deoxyribonucleic acids (GTC) are transcribed into the mRNA codon (CAG), which is eventually translated into the amino acid, Glutamic acid. Repeat this sequence until you reach one of the three STOP codons which, as you will see below, does not code for an amino acid.
