If a DNA template has the following sequence what would be t

If a DNA template has the following sequence, what would be the sequence of the mRNA molecule? What would be the sequence of the amino acids? (Remember DNA and RNA are synthesized from the 5’ to 3’ end and mRNA is read from the 5’ end to the 3’ end.) 5’TCAGGTATCCCTCAGCCCGACCACCAACAT3’

Solution

Sequence of the mRNA is the complementary of the given sequence from 5\' to 3\', but instead of T for A we have to give U i.e., Urasil group.
