The orientation is called antiparallel. Thus.
ATGCTA
TACGAT
Running in opposite directions, so to speak.

What is the role of the DNA new strand?
It is a copy of the Dna original strand.
What would match the DNA strand TCCGAACGTC?
The DNA strand, AGGCTTGCAG.
Given the following strand of dna what is the complementary strand actggctac?
The complementary DNA strand to ACTGGCTAC is TGACCGATG.
During DNA replications a complementary strand of DNA is made for each original DNA strand thus if a portion of the original strand is CCTAGCT then the new strand will be?
CCAATTG
Is DNA a single strand of nucleotides?
No, DNA, from difference with the RNA, is a double strand of nucleotides. DNA, double strand (hence the double helix nickname). RNA, single strand.
In which direction does RNA polymerase read a DNA strand?
The correct answer is: RNA is synthesized by RNA polymerase that reads one strand of DNA. RNA polymerase reads DNA 3' to 5'. When RNA is made, it is made 5' to 3'. Most polymerases have the 3' to 5' "reading" activity. The created RNA strand is identical to the coding strand of DNA, which is also in the orientation of 5' to 3'.
What is the strand?
The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.
Why is the leading strand considered continuous?
The leading strand is the correct orientation, so it can be replicated continuosly - meaning the DNA Polymerase can continue to add new nucleotides without stopping. New DNA strands can only be created in a 5' to 3' direction. This is different to the lagging strand - which must be looped and copied in small, non-continuos segments. These segments are known as Okazaki fragments.
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 role of the DNA new strand?
It is a copy of the Dna original strand.
What would match the DNA strand TCCGAACGTC?
The DNA strand, AGGCTTGCAG.
Given the following strand of dna what is the complementary strand actggctac?
The complementary DNA strand to ACTGGCTAC is TGACCGATG.
What is formed when reverse transcriptase is used on a strand of mRNA?
A strand of DNA
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.
During DNA replications a complementary strand of DNA is made for each original DNA strand thus if a portion of the original strand is CCTAGCT then the new strand will be?
CCAATTG
Is DNA a single strand of nucleotides?
No, DNA, from difference with the RNA, is a double strand of nucleotides. DNA, double strand (hence the double helix nickname). RNA, single strand.
What is the DNA strand that is synthesized continuously during DNA replication?
leading strand
