I have a book with no explanation. For example.
What is the mRNA complement, from 5'-3', of the following DNA sequence?
5'-GATCCCGCTAAGGCCT-3'
Answer: 5'-aggccuuagcccauc-3'
This is the answer but my question is how come, I mean if DNA uses the opposite. Meaning there is Adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Uracil, why isn't the opposite of the first letter "Uracil" rather than the actual answer adenine? Can someone please explain this too me.
