Question

Does the mRNA model more resemble closely the DNA strand form which it was transcribed?

Answer 1

mRNA more closely resembles the strand of DNA that was not transcribed. Why: Bases in DNA always make one of two pairs, either C-G or A-T. So, a strand of DNA coded ATCG would have a complementary strand of TAGC. RNA bonds to DNA in the same manner, except instead of T, it uses U.
