The top strand, which is drawn 5' to 3' and which contains the promoter sequences in the conventionally written orientation (such as the TATA box) and which has the same sequence as the new RNA (except for U instead of T) is the plus strand or the sense strand or the non template strand or the coding strand. The bottom 3' to 5' strand is the minus, or template, or antisense strand.

Your sequence therefore is the coding strand, but the RNA is transcribed off of the non-coding, template, or antisense strand.

What is made in transcription?

mRNA is made. Messenger (Ribose Nucleic-Acid). mRNA is a single strand of RNA made from the template strand of DNA. The mRNA is a exact copy of the coding or sense strand of DNA. The only difference between the produced RNA and DNA is the DNA has deoxyribose as its backbone sugar, and all Thymines have are replaced with Uracil.


What is the trna strand for a t t c g a c c t a c g?

tRNA does not copy a strand of DNA - that is what mRNA does.So for the DNA strand ATT-CGA-CCT-ACG:the mRNA strand would be UAA-GCU-GGA-UGCtRNA is responsible for carrying the correct amino acid to match up with the codon (three letter code) on the mRNA. The first codon here is UAA - which is a stop codon - meaning the peptide chain being created will not proceed beyond this.


What subcellular structure is involved in translation?

In translation (RNA to Protein) a ribosome attaches to an mRNA strand and uses the mRNA to create a protein. There are other types of RNA and protein that can modify the mRNA strand but ribosomes are the main structure involved in translation.


What does synthesis protein mean?

= Protein Synthesis = ----Legend:Process whereby DNA encodes for the production of amino acids and proteins. This process can be divided into two parts:1. TranscriptionBefore the synthesis of a protein begins, the corresponding RNA molecule is produced by RNA transcription. One strand of the DNA double helix is used as a template by the RNA polymerase to synthesize a messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA migrates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. During this step, mRNA goes through different types of maturation including one called splicingwhen the non-coding sequences are eliminated. The coding mRNA sequence can be described as a unit of three nucleotides called a codon. 2. TranslationThe ribosome binds to the mRNA at the start codon (AUG) that is recognized only by the initiator tRNA. The ribosome proceeds to the elongation phase of protein synthesis. During this stage, complexes, composed of an amino acid linked to tRNA, sequentially bind to the appropriate codon in mRNA by forming complementary base pairs with the tRNA anticodon. The ribosome moves from codon to codon along the mRNA. Amino acids are added one by one, translated into polypeptidic sequences dictated by DNA and represented by mRNA. At the end, a release factor binds to the stop codon, terminating translation and releasing the complete polypeptide from the ribosome. One specific amino acid can correspond to more than one codon. The genetic code is said to be degenerate.


What items are used during RNA translation?

During RNA translation, items such as ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, messenger RNA (mRNA), amino acids, and various protein factors are used. The ribosome acts as the machinery for translation, tRNA molecules bring specific amino acids to the ribosome, mRNA provides the template for protein synthesis, and protein factors help in the initiation, elongation, and termination of translation.

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


What is the role of the DNA coding strand?

The DNA coding strand serves as a template for the synthesis of mRNA during transcription. It carries the same sequence as the mRNA, except it has thymine (T) instead of uracil (U). The mRNA produced is complementary to the DNA coding strand.


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 is the messenger rna complementary to?

mRNA is complementary to the template strand of DNA during transcription. The template strand serves as a template for mRNA synthesis, directing the formation of a complementary mRNA transcript.


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.


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

The strand of DNA that is not transcribed is called the coding strand. This strand serves as the template for mRNA synthesis during transcription. The opposite strand, which is transcribed into mRNA, is known as the template strand.


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.


Name of the DNA strand which is copied to make mRNA?

The DNA strand that is copied to make mRNA is the template strand of the gene. This strand serves as a template for the RNA polymerase enzyme to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand during the process of transcription.


What is important about the DNA template strand?

The template and non-template strands of DNA are complementary.This means that if a T (thymine)occurs on one strand, there must be an A (adenine) in that position on the other strand, and that C (cytosine) is always opposite G (guanine), following the rules of complementary base pairing.There are other names for the two strands, but Googling them shows there is a lot of confusion out there! The terms "template strand" and "non-template stand" seem to be the only ones that everyone uses consistently. The template strand is the strand along which messenger RNA is synthesized, and has, of course, a base sequence complementary to that of the RNA.The term "gene" is often applied to the non-template strand, the argument being that the non-template DNA strand and the mRNA have the same base sequence (except that where DNA has T, RNA has U, uracil).In transcription, RNAP uses template strand to make a copy of mRNA. Complementary to template strand is the coding strand, which sequence is identical to mRNA sequence except for the substitution of U for T. Although the coding strand is not used as a template for common transcription events, it is called coding because its sequence is used as a copy in mRNA sequence. For the case of "sense", terminologically template strand is called antisense, and coding strand is called the sense strand.Template/non-coding/antisenseNon-template/coding/senseMany people confuse complementary sequences with palindromic sequence which you can find in restriction system recognition sequences. Although the template strand yields a sense (functional) sequence in mRNA and thus a properly-folded protein, the complementary strand of it, non-template strand upon being transcribed yields a totally different and non-functional protein. However in terms of transcription of palindrome, both strands yield the same mRNA sequence, thus the same protein.Coding strand of a particular gene can be on one of either two strands of DNA, and thus this applies to the opposite strand of the said strand for the non-coding strand. The direction of transcription on a double-stranded DNA depends on whether the upper or lower strand is being transcribed. Therefore on a linearised genome, transcription occurs to the left for certain genes and to the right for the remaining genes.

How is the template strand for a particular gene determined?

The template strand for a gene is determined by the orientation of the gene within the DNA double helix. The template strand is the one that is read by RNA polymerase during transcription to create an mRNA molecule. It is complementary to the coding (non-template) strand and guide the synthesis of the mRNA molecule according to the genetic code.


What is the process of making mRNA from a template strand of DNA is known as?

The process of making mRNA from a template strand of DNA is known as transcription. During transcription, RNA polymerase enzyme reads the DNA template and synthesizes a complementary mRNA strand by joining RNA nucleotides together. This mRNA molecule carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.
