coding or sense strand vs. template or antisense strand of DNA

Submitted by Ingrid Waldron (guest) on Sun, 05/31/2009 - 6:23am.

Since we are providing the DNA strand for the students to act as RNA polymerase and carry out transcription, we provide the template or anti-sense strand (not the coding or sense strand). With that in mind, you will see that the anti-codons of tRNA fit the mRNA sequence that the students will generate.
