Answer:

DNA is a double-stranded molecule but only one strand act as the template for RNA polymerase to synthesize mRNA. The template strand is also called non-coding strand and another strand is called the coding strand.  

The coding strands are in 5'to 3' direction and the non-coding strand is in 3' to 5' direction. So the template strand is read in 3' to 5' direction by RNA polymerase and mRNA is formed in 5' to 3' direction.

The sequence of nucleotide on mRNA are called codons and three codon are responsible for coding one amino acid.

Dmitrij [34]
The intermediate color or rather condition, in this case "roan", is a result of two alleles being codominant. Codominance occurs when the phenotype (or the physical expression of the gene) of a heterozygote individual expresses both the alleles in a pair of genes. In the given situation, both parents are homozygotes.

<span>Diffusion and osmosis
Diffusion occurs because of the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. This movement of molecules occurs due to a thermal motion. Diffusion normally occurs between two compartments having difference in concentration. In case of fluid it moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of concentration until a balance is reached. The process of diffusion is very important for the humans as well. The oxygen that humans breathe in gets diffused with the blood.
Osmosis is the passive movement of water. <span /></span>
