Practice writing the complementary strand of DNA and mRNA during transcription

Practice writing a strand of the complementary strand of dna and completing a strand of messenger RNA
When you have DNA, adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pair with guanine.
Whenever you have mRNA uracil replaces thymine.

[SirBitingBen]

Just to make it real simple: Adenine = Thymine/Guanine = Cytosine. So if you see an A, the complementary will be a T. If you see a G, the complementary would be a C. Just for the people who disliked ~

Watching this during class, since everyone seems to understand expect me 💀

[mamtarani]

A = T
C = G
(linked w eachother thru hydrogen bond)

.
and if one to code mRNA just know it'll be same as coding strand. just rmr to write U (uracil) at the place of T (thymine) in "mRNA", example below:

template : ATCGGC A TATGCC
coding : TAGCCG T ATACGG
mrna : UAGCCG UAUACGG

For those who are confused about how to convert the original strand to the complementary DNA strand, A = T, G ≡ C.

THANKS DAWG THIS HELPED A LOT I CAN NOW FINALLY GRADUATE HARVARD WITH MY BIOLOGY DEGREE ILY

[thenalivingstone]

I think at the end of this video there is a mistake. In place of the last "G" in the mRNA strand there should be a "C".

[gatooncracko]

YES IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR HOURS

[Alphabeeeet]

short yet understandable. excellent! (but substitute 3rd g in mRNA with c)

[picklerick]

Thank you dude I have a test tomorrow and I was super stressed until now

[Kate-bmdo]

For those that need help:
For mRNA, you do the complementary strands, just replace the T's with U's. I hope that helps.

PS: Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not an expert at this nor am I a genecist. I am a 8th grade student that is doing this.

[SwingingSamoan]

Thank you my biology professor didn’t even explain this to us at all

[suhani]

thank u very much! I took a bio introductory course in first year of university and this helped a lot!!

[geekelique]

Thanks for this! I didn't understand how to convert complementary base pairs from my professor's lecture video alone.
Your straightforward instructions helped and made it easy to get.
Was going to mention the error at the end of the video with guanine but other commenters pointed it out. Lol

[umayamr-jhayp.]

For DNA
A=T
C=G

For mRNA
A->U
C=G
T->A

thanks for helping me cheat on my homework

[kamilatijani]

thank you i’m in 7th grade and this helped for my biology test tomorrow!!

[klsoto]

Thank you for making this so simple to understand!

[johnrobis]

What's the relation of complementary strand to the strand of MRNA from DNA? Why it is very different at the next example? I'M VERY CONFUSED 😭

[ravenzz]

thanks man u made things really simple

[bleep]

Thanks!!! I'm in junior high rn and this helped out alot...
