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 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.


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.


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 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.


How can one change DNA to mRNA?

To change DNA to mRNA, a process called transcription occurs. During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase reads the DNA sequence and creates a complementary mRNA strand by matching nucleotides. This mRNA strand carries the genetic information from the DNA and can then be used to make proteins through a process called translation.

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.

What does DNA do after it is copied?

It joins up with its complementary strand. I may then be used to make RNA.


What strand of DNA contains codes for the amino acids that make up a protein?

The messenger RNA (mRNA) strand contains the codes for the amino acids that make up a protein. During protein synthesis, the mRNA strand is used by ribosomes to read the genetic information and assemble the corresponding amino acids.


What is the section of DNA being used to make the strand of RNA known as?

The DNA template strand is used to create mRNA.
