Suppose that a portion of double-stranded dna in the middle of a large gene is being transcribed by an rna polymerase. as the polymerase moves through the sequence of six bases shown in the diagram below, what is the corresponding sequence of bases in the rna that is produced?
Question: Suppose that a portion of double-stranded dna in the middle of a large gene is being transcribed by an rna polymerase. as the polymerase moves through the sequence of six bases shown in the diagram below, what is the corresponding sequence of bases in the rna that is produced?
The DNA template strand is 5' to 3' and the RNA transcript is 3' to 5', so the RNA transcript will be the reverse complement of the DNA template strand.
DNA template strand: 5' - A C T G T C - 3'
RNA transcript: 3' - U G A C A G - 5'
Therefore, the corresponding sequence of bases in the RNA that is produced is **UGACA
