The opposite of RNA, in the context of genetic information, is DNA. The RNA sequence is complementary to the DNA sequence.
According to the provided reference, the sequence of nitrogen bases in RNA is opposite that of DNA, and this process is called transcription.
For example:
- If a DNA strand reads TCCAAGTC, then the mRNA strand (the RNA transcript) would read AGGUUCAG. This demonstrates the complementary and "opposite" relationship between the two sequences.
