Short strands of DNA are called a plasmid except that they are found in circular configurations and are often called vectors.

RNA are short stands of DNA except for one different base.

What is the new strand called in Dna replication?

semiconservative replication - original DNA double strand will unwind into 2 strands, so one original strand will serve as a template for synthesizing a new complementary strand , thus forming a new DNA (one with old strand and one with a new strand)


The strand of DNA that is not transcribed is called the strand.?

RNA polymerase runs in one direction and is making up a single strand of mRNA. So, the strand not copied in the antiparallel double stranded DNA is called the nonsense strand. ( sense strand is copied )

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
