Chapter 17, Problem 7Q

Summary Introduction

To review:

The sequence of a complementary strand of given deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the sequence of a messengerribonucleicacid (mRNA), and the sequence of antisense RNA species from the given strand: 5’-GCATTCGAATTGCAGACTCCTGCAATTCGGCAAT-3’.

Introduction:

DNAisa double helix molecule. It contains information in two complementary strands. The information is transcribed only when one strand of DNA acts as a template strand for the synthesis of RNA molecules. This template strand is referred to as the anti-sense (noncoding) strand, and the non-transcribed strand is called as the sense (coding) strand.
