-Your task is determine the RNA complement of a given DNA sequence.
+Your task is to determine the RNA complement of a given DNA sequence.
 
 Both DNA and RNA strands are a sequence of nucleotides.
 
-The four nucleotides found in DNA are adenine (**A**), cytosine (**C**), guanine (**G**) and thymine (**T**).
+The four nucleotides found in DNA are adenine (**A**), cytosine (**C**), guanine (**G**), and thymine (**T**).
 
-The four nucleotides found in RNA are adenine (**A**), cytosine (**C**), guanine (**G**) and uracil (**U**).
+The four nucleotides found in RNA are adenine (**A**), cytosine (**C**), guanine (**G**), and uracil (**U**).
 
 Given a DNA strand, its transcribed RNA strand is formed by replacing each nucleotide with its complement:
