What is DNA sense?

Answer 1

The plus strand is the same as the sense strand and can also be called the coding or non-template strand. This is the strand that has the same sequence as the mRNA (except it has Ts instead of Us). The other strand, called the template, minus, or antisense strand, is complementary to the mRNA. Gotta love the use of 4 names to describe the same thing. Ah science, why do you torment us?

Answer 2

DNA is in an anti-parallel double helical form. That means the rungs of the DNA "staircase" are complementary to each other, but their backbones are reverse of each other. One is called the sense strand and the other is the antisense strand. The genetic code in a strand of DNA is on the anti-sense. This strand is that which is "read" to produce mainly proteins. Our genetic codes determine everything from eye color to how tall we grow.

Answer 3

In genetics, a sense strand or coding strand is the segment of double stranded DNA running from 5' -- 3' that is complementary to the antisense strand. The sense strand is the strand of DNA that has the same sequence as the mRNA, which takes the antisense strand as its template during transcription, and eventually undergoes (typically, not always) translation into a protein.

Answer 4

The anti sense strand directs synthesis of mRna {via complementary base pairing} and is also called the template strand.

The Dna sense strand that 'shares' the same sequence as the mRna (except for T instead of U) is also called the coding strand.

Sometimes anti sense can refer to the "reversion of the Dna code" in the mRna back into either Dna or Rna.

See sense vs antisense Genetic Mutations.

Answer 5

DNA sense refers to the strand of DNA that contains the genetic code for protein synthesis. This strand serves as the template for messenger RNA (mRNA) to be transcribed and translated into proteins. The other complementary DNA strand is known as the antisense or non-coding strand.

Answer 6

A DNA molecule normally has two strands. Out of these two, the one which replicates is called 'antisense" and the other one which does not replicate is called 'sense' strand.
