All right. Hello everyone. So this question is asking us to consider the template strand of a segment of the human insulin gene shown below. And here we have T AC ctagcgc att Gagct provide the corresponding Mrna sequence. So recall first and foremost that during a process known as transcription, we're taking the DNA template and converting it into a molecule of MRN A. Now, the M and MRN A stands for messenger and it's a type of RN A that provides genetic instructions for proteins to be synthesized. Because once MRN A is transported to a ribosome in a process known as translation, it's going to be converted into an amino acid sequence and eventually a protein. Now, just for your information, because this part isn't going to help us find the correct answer for this question specifically. But the reason why the DNA strand here is arranged in groups of three is because in the MRN A molecule that results these groups of three nucleotides are known as codons and each codon codes for one amino acid each. So that, that's what creates the amino acid sequence. So from here, it's important to recognize that the MRN a product is going to be complementary to the DNA template. So it's important to recall our base period rules. So when it comes to MRN A right, recall that thymine is not going to be present and instead uracil is going to be found. So, Adenine binds with Uracil and vice versa, and cytosine binds with guanine and vice versa as well though we are still starting with DNA, right. So it's important to remember that adenine pairs with thymine and vice versa when talking about DNA. So from here, let me go ahead and start by copying out the sequence so that we can find the compliment or the complimentary secrets. There we go. So starting off with the first group of three here, we have T AC from the original DNA segment T is going to pair up with a A pairs up with you in R and A and C pairs with G. This means that our first code on our first group of three nucleotides in the MRN A is a UG moving on now to the second segment. We have CT A and DNA C is complimentary with GT, is complimentary with A and A binds with U in a day. So that's Gau for the second code on up. Next, we have GCG in the DNA, which would be CGC in the MRNA. After that, we have cat which would give Gu A in the MNE. Then we have TG and DNA. So that's T binding with a G binding with C and A binding with you last, but not least we have GCT in the DNA which would give CG A in the ear. And so just to go ahead and put everything together, our MRN A sequence is as follows. It is a Uggaucgcgu A AC UCG A and there you have it. So with that being said, thank you so very much for watching and I hope you found this helpful.
