Question

Thinking on how GENES are encoded on the genome, which of the following statement IS NOT TRUE? a) a given gene is encoded in only one of the DNA strands but it may occur on both DNA strands. b) a given gene is always encoded on both DNA strands generating two complementary c) since genes are encoded only on one of the DNA strands, they may occur on d)) in the computer, a given gene is always encoded by the sense DNA strand. copies. opposing DNA strands simultaneously and overlap with each other.

Explanation / Answer

Option B is not true.

A given gene is encoded in only one of the DNA strands hence producing a single stranded mRNA molecules after each transcription which are complementary to that of template strand.

The transcripts are not double stranded mRna and they are not produced from both the strand of DNA.

DNA molecule which runs from 3' to 5' direction acts as a template strand for synthesis of mRNA molecules.
