mRNA is a molecule that carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis. It is used because it can be easily and rapidly transcribed from DNA when needed, allowing for quick and efficient production of proteins in cells. It also serves as a temporary and disposable copy of specific genetic instructions, reducing the risk of mutations and enabling more precise control of protein synthesis.
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.

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.
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.
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.

The two single strands of DNA are referred to as the "template strand" and the "coding strand." The template strand serves as a guide for synthesizing a complementary mRNA strand during transcription, while the coding strand has the same sequence as the mRNA (except with thymine instead of uracil).
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.
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.
The process that produces mRNA is known as transcription. In this process a single DNA strand is used to make a copy of mRNA.
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.
No, just one strand, the coding strand is used to create a mRNA molecule in the process of transcription.
The DNA template strand is used to create mRNA.
The template strand is used to make a complementary copy. This is a type of DNA strand.
