Final answer:
The template DNA strand complementary to the RNA molecule 5'-CCUGAUAAUCGGCUCC-3' is 3'-GGCTATTAGCCGAGG-5', and the coding DNA strand is 5'-CCATATAAGCGGAGG-3'. The template strand is used to synthesize RNA, while the coding strand shares its sequence with the RNA, except it contains thymine instead of uracil.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question pertains to the transcription and complementary bases in DNA and RNA. To write the sequence for the coding and template DNA strands of the given RNA molecule 5'-CCUGAUAAUCGGCUCC-3', we need to recall that RNA is synthesized using the template strand of DNA, and RNA nucleotides are complementary to the DNA template nucleotides (with uracil replacing thymine).
The template DNA strand, which runs from 3' to 5', is complementary to the RNA sequence and would have adenine (A) pairing with uracil (U), thymine (T) pairing with adenine (A), guanine (G) pairing with cytosine (C), and cytosine (C) pairing with guanine (G). Thus, the template DNA strand for the given RNA sequence would be 3'-GGCTATTAGCCGAGG-5'.
The coding strand, which has the same sequence as RNA but with thymine instead of uracil, would be 5'-CCATATAAGCGGAGG-3'. This coding strand is also called the non-template strand and is basically the RNA sequence with uracil replaced by thymine.
