What is the new strand called in Dna replication?

semiconservative replication - original DNA double strand will unwind into 2 strands, so one original strand will serve as a template for synthesizing a new complementary strand , thus forming a new DNA (one with old strand and one with a new strand)

How can one change DNA to mRNA?

To change DNA to mRNA, a process called transcription occurs. During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase reads the DNA sequence and creates a complementary mRNA strand by matching nucleotides. This mRNA strand carries the genetic information from the DNA and can then be used to make proteins through a process called translation.


Name of the DNA strand which is copied to make mRNA?

The DNA strand that is copied to make mRNA is the template strand of the gene. This strand serves as a template for the RNA polymerase enzyme to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand during the process of transcription.


What happens to a strand of DNA when there is a change in the base on the other strand?

This is called a "mutation." What ends up happening depends on where the base that changed was located. If the changed base is on the side of the DNA strand that is not used in making mRNA, there will be no difference in the final protein made whatsoever. If the mutation occurs in a part of the DNA that is not coded to make a protein (so called "junk" DNA), there will also be no change in the final protein, because there won't be a protein made. Even if the mutation occurs in a segment of DNA that eventually makes a protein, if the replacement base causes the mRNA to code for an amino acid that is similar to the original base, there will be little change. There is more to it, but that will probably suffice.


What is the term for the DNA strand that acts as a pattern to the newly synthesized DNA?

The DNA strand that acts as a pattern for the newly synthesized DNA is called the template strand. It serves as a guide during DNA replication, where complementary nucleotides are added to create a new DNA strand.


What is the Thread like strand made of DNA called?

The thread-like strand made of DNA is called a chromosome. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain the genetic material needed for growth, development, and function. Humans normally have 46 chromosomes in each cell.

The strand of DNA that is not transcribed is called the strand.?

The strand of DNA that is not transcribed is called the coding strand. This strand serves as the template for mRNA synthesis during transcription. The opposite strand, which is transcribed into mRNA, is known as the template strand.
