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.


Why both strands of DNA are not copied during transcription?

During transcription, only one DNA strand is used as a template to synthesize an mRNA molecule. This strand is called the template or antisense strand. The other DNA strand, known as the coding or sense strand, is not used because it has the same sequence as the mRNA molecule being produced, except with thymine instead of uracil. Transcribing both strands would be redundant and energetically wasteful.


What is a cell's complement of DNA called?

Be more clear with your question please. The complement of a single strand of DNA is the other strand. The complement to the single DNA strand "ATCGGTA" would be "TAGCCAT" The mRNA complement of the DNA strand ATCGGTA is UAGCCAU The tRNA anticodon of the DNA strand ATCGGTA is UTCGGTU Hope that helps A cell's endovment of DNA, its genetic information is called its genome


What is a polymerase commonly used for?

A polymerase is commonly used for amplifying DNA in a process called PCR (polymerase chain reaction). PCR is used to make copies of specific DNA sequences, which is essential for various genetic testing, molecular biology research, and diagnostic applications.


What are the two DNA strands?

The two DNA strands are the coding (sense) strand and the template (antisense) strand. The coding strand carries the genetic information for protein synthesis, while the template strand is used to transcribe messenger RNA.

What is the difference between testing a single mean and testing the difference between two means?

A single mean is used in testing to compare a single variable to a population mean in order to determineÊif there is aÊdifference. Two means are used in testing to compare two populations to see if there are variances between the two variables.Ê

Is embroidery floss the same as embroidery thread?

No , embroidery thread comes in single strands of various sizes and are sold wrapped around spools similar to sewing thread. Most Embroidery threads are smooth, tight made to be used with machines. Floss is two to six strands loosely twisted , and are sold in hanks when a hank is wrapped in a loose coil then it is called a Skein. (some two strand flosses are sold in spools) the main difference between a strand of thread and a strand of floss is the tightness of the twisting which adds strength. a single strand of thread is harder, firmer to the touch a single floss softer in sewing a single strand of cotton floss will often break where a similar cotton embroidery thread will not.

How is hair used to tell the age of a person?

Hair can be used to tell the age of a person by determining the levels of proteins and pigments found in a strand. This can only be done by scientific testing though.
