Question

Does mRNA model more closely resemble the DNA strand from which it was transcribed?

Answer 1

Answer: No, mRNA ( messenger RNA) model does not closely resemble the DNA strand from which it is transcribed.

This is because mRNA strand is complementary to the strand of DNA template that is used in its synthesis during the process called transcription. The polarity of DNA template is 3' to 5' whereas that of mRNA transcribed is 5' to 3' that is both the strands have antiparallel polarity.

This is the reason template DNA is referred antisense. mRNA strand more closely resembles the sense strand ( which is complementary strand of DNA template in a double helix).

Answer 2

The mRNA is not closely related to the template strand of DNA.

Further Explanation:

The DNA consists of a two-strand template strand and a complementary strand. The molecule of DNA replicates during the process of cell division. The multiple copies of DNA are made after replication and then DNA is transcript into the mRNA. In the process of transcription, mRNA is formed from the template strand. The direction of the template strand is 3’-5’ and the direction of mRNA is 5’-3’.

They are opposite to each other. The sequence of the nucleotide base is different in mRNA and the template strand. So, the model of the mRNA is deferent from the template strand. They are not closely resembled each other. After the transcription process, mRNA is translated into the protein by the process of translation. This process makes the chain of amino acid by reading the coding sequence.
