Template strand

DNA Template strand (also known as the aniti-sense strand), is one of the strands of DNA after being unwound by Helicase. RNA polymerase binds to the template strand using as a 'template' during transcription of a particular gene, this produces a complementary pre-mRNA molecule within the nucleus. Splicing will then take place in order to remove any non-coding regions of DNA (occurs only in Eukaryotes) to give the final mRNA strand, which leaves the nucleus through a pore and joins to a ribosome where translation of this mRNA will occur.

This mRNA can then be translated by ribosomes forming a sequence of amino acids .
