Why is only one strand of dna transcribed into mrna?

Answered by admin @



It seems reasonable that only one strand is used, because transcription of RNA from both strands would produce two complementary RNA strands from the same stretch of DNA, and these strands presumably would produce two different kinds of protein (with different amino acid sequences).
