Expert Solution
Step 1

DNA is a double helical molecule, in which two complementary strands are held together with the help of hydrogen bonds between the nucleotide bases.  The two strands are antiparallel to each other, one strand has 5'-3' and the other has 3'-5' direction. The sense strand or coding strand has the same sequence as that of the mRNA. This strand of DNA runs in 5'-3' direction. The template strand or the antisense strand runs in 3'-5' direction from which the mRNA is synthesized, during transcription. The template strand is generally the bottom strand of a DNA double helix.
