hox gene
The part of a strand of DNA with regulatory sequences is called the promoter region. This region is located upstream of the coding region and contains specific sequences that interact with regulatory proteins to control gene expression. The promoter region plays a crucial role in initiating the transcription of the gene.
You can predict the base seqences of a DNA molecule if you know what one strand is, because of double Stranded DNA. Each strand matches up with a letter and repeats a pattern throught the entire DNA strand.
The promoter region of a gene contains specific sequences that signal RNA polymerase II where to bind and initiate transcription. The orientation of these sequences determines which DNA strand is recognized as the template strand and therefore dictates the direction in which RNA polymerase II moves along the DNA during transcription.
They would be described as being complementary - as in complementary base pairing.
telomeres
It would be ATCAGT. A=T T=A G=C C=G for all the DNA sequences the complementary strand would be the opposite.
The whole DNA strand is a double helix.
Pyrimidines or Purines
Very accurate to the base pair. The quality of the specimen matters as DNA can degrade. Short strand sequences (10-12 base pairs) can still be determined by PCR from one strand of hair.
RNA polymerase attaches to unwound DNA during transcription by recognizing and binding to specific promoter sequences on the DNA strand. Once bound, the RNA polymerase begins to synthesize a complementary RNA strand using the DNA template.
Yes, the mRNA model closely resembles the DNA strand from which it was transcribed, specifically the coding or sense strand. The mRNA sequence is complementary to the DNA template strand and contains uracil (U) instead of thymine (T). However, while they share similar sequences, mRNA is typically single-stranded and undergoes modifications like splicing, capping, and polyadenylation, which differentiate it from the original DNA strand.
The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.
