mRNA contains uracil in its nucleotide sequence, not thymine.
Uracil pairs with adenine in mRNA and replaces thymine in the DNA strand during transcription.
A mutation that changes the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule would likely be more harmful as it could potentially affect all mRNA molecules and proteins produced by that DNA. On the other hand, a mutation in an mRNA molecule would only affect the protein coded for by that specific mRNA.
TGCA
The mRNA sequence of the DNA sequence TAC would be AUG. In mRNA, thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U).
mRNA contains uracil in its nucleotide sequence, not thymine.
Uracil pairs with adenine in mRNA and replaces thymine in the DNA strand during transcription.
Yes, the mRNA sequence is created by transcribing the complementary strand of the DNA sequence, so it is almost an exact copy. However, in RNA, uracil replaces thymine, so the mRNA codon is identical to the DNA triplet except for the substitution of uracil for thymine.
uracil but that's in rna its thymine in DNA
The genetic code is determined by the specific sequence of four nucleotide bases that make up DNA. The bases are guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine.
The mRNA base sequence corresponding to the DNA sequence acgtt is ugcaa. The mRNA sequence is complementary to the DNA sequence, with thymine (T) in DNA being replaced by uracil (U) in mRNA.

TGCA
The mRNA sequence of the DNA sequence TAC would be AUG. In mRNA, thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U).
The mRNA base sequence ATC is a codon, specifically for the amino acid Isoleucine.
The complementary mRNA sequence to the DNA sequence "act" would be "uga" after transcription, where thymine (T) in DNA is replaced by uracil (U) in RNA.
The base sequence of cDNA is complementary to the mRNA molecule from which it is synthesized. This means that the cDNA will have the same sequence as the mRNA, except that thymine in DNA is replaced with uracil in RNA.
