What is the sequence of the pre-mRNA that would be produced from the gene sequence above?

Using the standard notation of letters to represent the bases in the pre-mRNA molecule.

Please take in mind its for eukaryotics

Answer 1

For gene transcription, for the scope of this question, we won't have to worry about where transcription starts. Ordinarily, for eukaryotes, there is a promoter region upstream of the transcription start site. The transcription start site may lie in the promoter region itself. For this question, I want you to think about which direction RNA is synthesized in and the difference between RNA and DNA. Hope this helps.
