Transcription

DNA Template Strand:

3' - ATGCATGCATGC - 5'
mRNA is synthesized complementary to the template DNA strand.

Base Pairing Rules (DNA → RNA):

• A (DNA) → U (RNA)
• T (DNA) → A (RNA)
• G (DNA) → C (RNA)
• C (DNA) → G (RNA)

Complementary mRNA Sequence:

DNA: 3' - A T G C A T G C A T G C - 5'
mRNA: 5' - U A C G U A C G U A C G - 3'
