The DNA template strand is the sequence of DNA that is used as a guide by RNA polymerase to synthesize complementary mRNA during transcription.
This refers to how specific nucleotide bases in DNA and RNA naturally pair with each other. Adenine pairs with thymine (in DNA) or uracil (in RNA), and cytosine pairs with guanine.
This is the process where information from a segment of DNA (the template strand) is copied into mRNA.
This molecule carries the genetic information copied from the DNA during transcription, which will be translated into proteins.
