Concept explainers
Interpretation: The sequence of the DNA coding strand and DNA template strand for the following mRNA sequence should be determined:
5’-AUGGGGAACAGCAAGAGUGGGGCCCUGUCCAAGGAG-3’
Concept introduction:
DNA stores genetic information in a stable form that can be readily replicated.
The template strand is DNA strand from which mRNA is built and it serves as a template for transcription. It runs in a 3’ to 5’ direction.
The DNA strand which is not used as template for transcription is said to be a coding strand as it corresponds to the same sequence as that of mRNA, the only difference is instead of thymine, uracil is present in mRNA strand.

Answer to Problem 1P
For the given RNA sequence, the sequence of the coding strand is 5’-ATGGGGAACAGCAAGAGTGGGGCCCTGTCCAAGGAG-3’ and the sequence for the template strand is 3’-TACCCCTTGTCGTTCTCACCCCGGGACAGGTTCCTC-5’.
Explanation of Solution
If the left chain is the coding chain, one reads from the 5’ end above downwards. So, the code is read as ‘…ATTGC…’ in this small part of the gene.
The template strand and the coding strand are complementary to each other, that is for each ‘A’ on the coding strand there is a ‘T’ on the template strand. For every ‘G’ on the coding strand there is a ‘C’ on the template strand. As in
Thus, the answer, the sequence for the coding strand for given RNA sequence, the sequence of the coding strand is 5’-ATGGGGAACAGCAAGAGTGGGGCCCTGTCCAAGGAG-3’ and the sequence for the template strand is 3’-TACCCCTTGTCGTTCTCACCCCGGGACAGGTTCCTC-5’.
For the given RNA sequence, the sequence of the coding strand is 5’-ATGGGGAACAGCAAGAGTGGGGCCCTGTCCAAGGAG-3’ and the sequence for the template strand is 3’-TACCCCTTGTCGTTCTCACCCCGGGACAGGTTCCTC-5’.
