1. Complete the unfinished DNA strand from above. T G C A T 2. What m-RNA strand would be formed from the DNA strand that you just made in #1 above? U G C A U

but I got number 2 wrong. my teacher said 2) You answer is not quite what we are looking for. But, it may be correct if you used a different strand of DNA. The question asked you to used the DNA strand you just made (the entire strand - including the bases given is ACTGCAT) to determine the m-RNA strand. If you used a different strand of DNA I may be able to accept this answer if you tell me what bases the strand of DNA had.

I don't understand what she is trying to tell me, can you help me please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dna is A = Adenine T = Thymine C = Cytosine G = Guanine a will always be with t and g will always be with c but in RNA you just take away the T for Dna andad in a U for Urasil instead of T= Thymine so it would be A = Adenine U=Urasil C = Cytosine G = Guanine AUCG how you could tell what goes next all you have to do is look at one of the letters you got #2 wrong because the U goes with the A instead of the C I hope i helped you

@utfaith Hi! I think you misunderstood my answer.. I said that Urasil bonds with Adenine not Cytosine. (I only filled in the blank in the picture)

1.A C G T A 2.A C G T A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh okay well the ending is TGCAT in the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And for RNA it's the same but replace the T for a U

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@utfaith Yes, that's what I wrote for RNA (UGCAU) and she said "You answer is not quite what we are looking for. But, it may be correct if you used a different strand of DNA. The question asked you to used the DNA strand you just made (the entire strand - including the bases given is ACTGCAT) to determine the m-RNA strand.
