Differentiate between the followings:
(a) Repetitive DNA and Satellite DNA
(b) mRNA and tRNA
(c) Template strand and Coding strand
(a) Repetitive DNA and satellite DNA
|
Repetitive DNA |
Satellite DNA |
|
|
1. |
Repetitive DNA are DNA sequences that contain small segments, which are repeated many times. |
Satellite DNA are DNA sequences that contain highly repetitive DNA. |
(b) mRNA and tRNA
|
mRNA |
tRNA |
|
|
1. |
mRNA or messenger RNA acts as a template for the process of transcription. |
tRNA or transfer RNA acts as an adaptor molecule that carries a specific amino acid to mRNA for the synthesis of polypeptide. |
|
2. |
It is a linear molecule. |
It has clover leaf shape. |
(c) Template strand and coding strand
|
Template strand |
Coding strand |
|
|
1. |
Template strand of DNA acts as a template for the synthesis of mRNA during transcription. |
Coding strand is a sequence of DNA that has the same base sequence as that of mRNA (except thymine that is replaced by uracil in DNA). |
|
2. |
It runs from 3’ to 5’. |
It runs from 5’to 3’. |
