The coding sequence of the human dystrophin begins with 5 AU
The coding sequence of the human dystrophin begins with:
5\' AUGCUUUGGUGGGAAGAAGUAG 3\'
What is the sequence of the template strand used to trasncribe this mRNA?
please give an explanation with the answer!!
Solution
mRNA is coded by templated DNA which is complementary to mRNA. The thymidines in mRNA are substituted with Uracil residues.
