Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the process of transcription, where an RNA strand is synthesized from a DNA template strand.
Recall that in DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), but during transcription, RNA is synthesized instead of DNA.
Know that RNA contains uracil (U) instead of thymine, so adenine in the DNA template pairs with uracil in the RNA transcript.
Therefore, the RNA nucleotide complementary to adenine during transcription is uracil.
Review the base pairing rules for transcription: A (DNA) pairs with U (RNA), T (DNA) pairs with A (RNA), G pairs with C, and C pairs with G.
