DNA replication is a process at which its complementary strands are synthesized. DNA polymerase and other enzymes participates in the catalysis of this process. DNA replication duplicated the total DNA of a cell before mitosis.
The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.
This is typically called the template DNA, which is the anti-sense strand of DNA. The strand that is not transcribed is called the sense strand.
It joins up with its complementary strand. I may then be used to make RNA.
The strand is called the parental strand. the gene being copied would depend on which protein is needed.
Transcription
The process of DNA replication.
The process that produces mRNA is known as transcription. In this process a single DNA strand is used to make a copy of mRNA.
The template strand is used to make a complementary copy. This is a type of DNA strand.
The difference between the coding strand and the template strand is the coding strand is the strand which contains the coding genes, i.e. the one in which the RNA polymerase reads and transcribes into mRNA. It must have the promoter sequence in the correct orientation for transcription, as follows:5`-TATAATGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGC-3`3`-ATATTACGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCG-5`In this sequence, the top strand is the coding strand, because it contains the promoter (TATAAT) in the correct orientation.However, when transcribed, the mRNA will be as follows:5`-GCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGC-3`This is because the polymerase transcribes from the template strand, on the opposide side to the coding strand, to make it in the same orientation as the coding strand.I hope I have explained it enough for people to understand, however if I haven't please read this article I found which explains it thoroughly:http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/bioforum/1994-May/008821.html
