What is the sequence of the RNA transcript derived from the DNA strand 5' - ACG TAG CCA GGT - 3'?

To derive the RNA transcript from the provided DNA sequence, it is important to first understand the process of transcription. During transcription, the RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA by using one of the two strands of DNA as a template. The RNA sequence is complementary to the DNA template strand but features uracil (U) in place of thymine (T).

Given the DNA strand 5' - ACG TAG CCA GGT - 3', we need to first determine the corresponding RNA sequence. When transcribing the RNA from this DNA sequence, we consider the base pairing rules where adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U), cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G), guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C), and thymine (T) pairs with adenine (A).

Using the provided DNA strand as a template, the transcription proceeds as follows:

• The first base A in DNA pairs with U in RNA.

• G pairs with C.

• C pairs with G.

• T pairs with A.

• The next A pairs with U.

• G pairs with C.

• C pairs with G.

• The final A pairs with U.

• G pairs with
