The mRNA is formed on DNA strand after transcription to carry the specific message to synthesize proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Since RNA can move from nucleus to the cytoplasm (not DNA), mRNA is used for sending messages to synthesize specific proteins.

Difference between sense and anti sense strands of DNA?

The sense strand of DNA is the strand that has the same sequence as the mRNA that is transcribed from DNA. The antisense strand is the complementary strand of the sense strand, which is used as a template for mRNA synthesis. The mRNA is transcribed from the antisense strand and contains the same sequence as the sense strand.

Which strand of dan molecule a or b was used to produce the messenger rna?

In the process of transcription, the template strand of DNA (often referred to as the antisense or non-coding strand) is used to produce messenger RNA (mRNA). This strand serves as the guide for RNA polymerase to synthesize the mRNA complementary to it. The other strand, known as the coding or sense strand, has a sequence that matches the mRNA (with uracil replacing thymine). Therefore, if strand A is the template, then mRNA is produced based on strand A.


What is the relationship between the template strand and the mRNA transcribed from it?

The template strand is used as a guide to create mRNA during transcription. The mRNA is complementary to the template strand and carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.


What are the two single strands of DNA?

The strand used as a template for mRNA during transcription is called the antisense strand. The DNA strand not used as a template is called the sense strand.Read more: What_are_the_two_DNA_strands


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.


New mRNA is made through a process of?

transcription, where the DNA double strand is unwound by RNA polymerase causing one of the DNA strands to be used as a template to create a complementary mRNA strand. This mRNA strand is then modified and processed before it can be used for protein synthesis.


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.


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.


How is mRNA synthesized within a cell?

mRNA is synthesized within a cell through a process called transcription. During transcription, the DNA in the cell's nucleus is used as a template to create a complementary strand of mRNA. This mRNA strand carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it is used to produce proteins.
