Question

How do sense and anti-sense RNAs function?

Answer 1

Sense RNA: The RNA sequence complementary to the DNA coding strand is known as sense RNA. Its sequence is identical to that of the mRNA that will be converted into a protein. During transcription, sense RNA is produced from the DNA template strand.

Antisense RNA: The complementary RNA sequence to both the sense RNA and the coding (sense) strand of DNA is known as antisense RNA. By base pairing with complementary sequences in mRNA or sense RNA, antisense RNA molecules frequently play a role in controlling gene expression. Reduced protein expression may result from this binding's inhibition of translation or induction of target mRNA breakdown.
