Process of synthesizing an RNA strand from a DNA template strand?

The synthesis of mRNA from DNA is called transcription.


The direction of synthesis of an RNA transcript is?

transcription:"the first step in protein synthesis, a sequence of nucleotide bases becomes exposed in an unwound region of a DNA strand. That sequence acts as a template upon which a single strand of RNA - a transcript - is synthesized from free nucleotides."The synthesis of an RNA molecule from the DNA template strand is called transcription.


Is RNA is usually single-stranded.?

During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a copy of single-stranded RNA. only one of the two DNA strands is used as a template for RNA synthesis. therefore only one complementary strand of RNA is usually made


Why does telomerase need to have a built-in template for DNA synthesis?

Telomerase is involved in adding DNA to the end of the lagging strand.


What is the process in which the DNA double helix unfold and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new strand?

I believe it's called replication. not really sure though...


How many strands does mRNA have?

a MRNA strand is a strand made up of messenger ribosenucleicacids


Why do most viruses have a single strand genome while larger viruses have a double strand genome?

The larger are encoding hundreds more proteins and assembling more complex virions.


What strand of DNA is used to make a complementary copy or to make a complementary mRNA molecule-?

The strand is called the parental strand. the gene being copied would depend on which protein is needed.


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

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.


What is the complementary DNA strand template strand of atgccatgg?

The complementary DNA strand template of ATGCCATGG is the basic design structure. It determines how the DNA strand will be constructed and the process in which it is formed.


What is the difference of ssDNA and dsDNA?

ssDNA means a single strand of DNA and dsDNA is double strand of DNA. Many viruses have one or the other.


What are the five necessary components of DNA synthesis reaction?

DNA polymerases, RNA primers, deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphates (or dNTPs), Mg2+ ions, and a DNA template strand.
