Radio Stars. Quasars are the brightest and most distant objects in the known universe. In the early 1960's, quasars were referred to as radio stars because they were discovered to be a strong source of radio waves. In fact, the term quasar comes from the words, quasi-stellar radio source.
The following DNA sequence occurs in the nontemplate strand of a structural gene in bacterium (the promoter sequence is located to the left but is not shown): 5 -GAATGTCAGAACTGCCATGCTTCATATGAATAGACCTCTAG-3 What is the ribonucleotide sequence of mRNA molecule that is transcribed from this piece of DNA?
Nucleotide incorporation is determined by base pairing with the template strand of the DNA. The template is the DNA strand, also called the sense strand, that is copied by the RNA polymerase into a complementary strand of RNA called the transcript. The DNA strand that is not copied is know as the antisense strand.
