4. A portion of the coding strand for a given gene has the sequence
5'-ATGGCAATCCTCAAACGCTGT-3'.
a. What is the sequence of complementary template strand?
b. What is the sequence of the mRNA that would be produced during
transcription from this segment of DNA?
5. Information transmitted by mRNA needs to be short-lived so that the cell can maintain
regulatory checks and balances. On the other hand, the structure of DNA must be stable. How
does the difference in structure make mRNA less stable than DNA?
