mRNA sequences
What mRNA sequences means in Biology A-Level, as defined for AQA.
Definition of mRNA sequences
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain mRNA sequences in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: AQA
Comparing the base sequence of mRNA works similarly to DNA, as mRNA is complementary to the DNA template strand.
