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 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.


What is the non template 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


How many strands of mRNA are made during the process of transcription?

A single mRNA strand is typically produced but a single strand can make many many copies of the protein encoded on the molecule.


How does mRNA get the code for gene from DNA?

mRNA is basically instructions for the creation of a protein. (the m stands for messenger) proteins are made in the ribosomes and they are made from 'amino acids' and basically these mRNA's tell the amino acids how to align to make a specific protein.


How many codons are present on the mRNA strand?

There are 6 codon here. Look at the letters and put them into threes. Those three are called codons. Each codes for one amino acid and all of these is a string of threes which will make a small protein.

What is the strand?

The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.

Is a strand of mRNA short?

That depends on the type of protein it needs to make. Bigger the polypeptide, longer the mRNA.


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

The template strand is used to make a complementary copy. This is a type of DNA strand.


What process and produces mRNA?

The process that produces mRNA is known as transcription. In this process a single DNA strand is used to make a copy of mRNA.


How do you make a protein from DNA?

mRNA transcribes a strand of DNA and carries the genetic code to a ribosome, where the mRNA code is translated by tRNA into a strand of amino acids, making a protein.


How many strands of mRNA are made during the process of transcription?

A single mRNA strand is typically produced but a single strand can make many many copies of the protein encoded on the molecule.


How do you write the complementary strand and mRNA strand for atggacaaactcaactca?

comp : tacctgtttgagttgagt mrna : uaccuguuugaguugagu For comp: just go opposite, c is opposite of g, and a is opposite of t For Mrna: do the same except when you would have a t(thymine) make it a u(uracil) since mrna doesnt have any thymine in it.


What happens when a section of DNA strand is transcribed?

The mRNA is formed, which moves out into the cytoplasm to make proteins.
