If a DNA segment has the nucleotides AGCCTAA, the nucleotide sequence of the complementary RNA strand will be UCGGAUU.
Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA. The segments of DNA transcribed into RNA molecules that can encode proteins are said to produce messenger RNA. Other segments of DNA are copied into RNA molecules called non-coding RNAs.
RNA strand will be UCGGAUU .
| DNA | adenine(A), thymine(T), guanine(G), cytosine(C) | A = T, G ≡ C |
| RNA | adenine(A), uracil(U), guanine(G), cytosine(C) | A = U, G ≡ C |
