What is non coding side of DNA for ATGC?

The non-coding side of DNA, also known as the non-coding strand or the template strand, serves as a blueprint for producing RNA molecules during the process of transcription. Unlike the coding strand, which has the same sequence as the RNA product, the non-coding strand has a complementary sequence to the RNA molecule, with the nucleotides A, T, G, and C pairing respectively with U, A, C, and G in RNA.


What kind of a molecule is a microRNA?

microRNA is a "non-coding RNA" molecule. This means that it does not translate into a protein. These are sometimes also called "non-messenger" RNA molecules.

What are internal non coding regions of RNA called?

Internal noncoding regions of RNA are called introns. They are segments of an RNA molecule that interrupt the sequence of genes.


What is transcription and where does it take place?

Transcription is the process whereby one strand of DNA is copied into a complementary strand of RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. RNA uses the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. Transcription is the first step in a process that leads to the manufacture of proteins or non-coding RNA.


What are the two kinds of rna and the jobs?

There are more than two kinds. First there's coding, of messaging mRNA, which is used as the blueprint in protein synthesis. The two most prominent non-coding RNA's are tRNA (transfer) and rRNA (ribosomal). tRNA is connected to specific amino-acids and basepairs with mRNA to form a protein. rRNA is a part of the ribosome. There are quit a few other RNA's though.


Is RNA a thought to be the oldest and most primitive coding mechanism for life?

Yes it is the oldest and most primitive coding mechanism


What does RNA carry?

RNA stands for ribonucleic acid. It carries the coding for protein synthesis. It is the same coding as the DNA but instead of Thymine it has Uracil. So now the base pairs are A-U G-C


What is the importance of DNA in RNA synthesis?

The DNA serves as a temple for the RNA to be synthesized. DNA houses the coding sequences of the genes. RNA is made to copy these genes.


What is the coding DNA and mrna strand for the template strand 3' a-g-g-t-t-c-a-t 5'?

The top strand, which is drawn 5' to 3' and which contains the promoter sequences in the conventionally written orientation (such as the TATA box) and which has the same sequence as the new RNA (except for U instead of T) is the plus strand or the sense strand or the non template strand or the coding strand. The bottom 3' to 5' strand is the minus, or template, or antisense strand. Your sequence therefore is the coding strand, but the RNA is transcribed off of the non-coding, template, or antisense strand.


What strand of DNA of would be produced from the template strand of DNA?

AAC CT would produce TTG GA The coding strand is the DNA strand that has the same base sequence as the RNA transcript. It contains codons, and the non-coding strand has anti-codons instead.


What is the role of the DNA coding strand?

It helps position RNA polymerase correctly at the promoter.
