Question

From what DNA base sequence was the following RNA sequence transcribed?

(5’) UUCGCAGAGU (3’)

Short answer

The DNA base sequence from which this RNA sequence is transcribed can be written as $(3\text{'}) \mathrm{AAGCGTCTCA} (5\text{'})$.

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

The DNA base sequence can be given as (5’) UUCGCAGAGU (3’).

Sense and antisense strand

The antisense strand can be given as,

$(3\text{'}) \mathrm{AAGCGTCTCA} (5\text{'})$

The sense and original DNA strand can be given as,

$(5\text{'}) \mathrm{TTCGCAGAGT} (3\text{'})$

The DNA base sequence from the given RNA transcribed can be denoted as,

$(3\text{'}) \mathrm{AAGCGTCTCA} (5\text{'})$

The base sequence of RNA has U can be replaced with T of the DNA base strand.
