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?
The DNA strand that is not transcribed is called the coding strand because, except for DNA having T and RNA having U, that DNA strand's sequence is the same as the primary RNA transcript's sequence, since they are both complementary to the template strand.
