RNA
The template strand is used to make a complementary copy. This is a type of DNA strand.
The template strand of DNA is used to make a complementary copy during DNA replication, while the antisense (non-coding) strand is used as a template for complementary mRNA synthesis during transcription.
During transcription an RNA Molecule is formed inside the nucleus. The DNA is too large to leave the nucleus and participates directly in the cytoplasmic protein synthesis. It is necessary to make a small copy of Messenger RNA that will migrate out of the nuclear pore in to the cytoplasm.
The characteristic of DNA that allows it to make an exact copy of itself is its ability to undergo replication. During replication, the DNA molecule unwinds and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand, resulting in two identical DNA molecules.
They are complementary.
When genes are copied in transcription, the resulting copy is in the form of a single-stranded RNA molecule. This RNA molecule contains a sequence of nucleotides that is complementary to the DNA template from which it was transcribed.
During DNA replication, a complementary nucleotide is added to each exposed base on the original DNA molecule. This process ensures the formation of two identical DNA molecules.
A complementary strand of DNA contains the template information for the creation of a new copy of the other strand. How is it determined?
DNA replication. During this process, a DNA molecule makes a copy of itself by unwinding and separating into two strands, with each strand serving as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand.
DNA replicates so that it can make an exact copy of the DNA molecule.
A complementary strand of DNA contains the template information for the creation of a new copy of the other strand. How is it determined?
The term that describes the process where half of the old DNA molecule is retained in the new DNA molecule during DNA replication is known as semi-conservative replication. This means that each new DNA molecule formed consists of one original strand and one newly synthesized complementary strand.
