DNA has two strands:
* Coding strand (sense strand): This strand has the same sequence as the messenger RNA (mRNA) that will be transcribed from it, except that thymine (T) is replaced with uracil (U) in mRNA. It's called "sense" because it's the strand that directly codes for a protein.
* Template strand (antisense strand): This strand is the actual template used by the enzyme RNA polymerase during transcription. It has a complementary sequence to the coding strand.
Important Note:
* Not all DNA sequences are coding. Large portions of DNA don't code for proteins and have other functions.
* The terms "sense" and "antisense" are relative. Depending on which strand you're looking at, it can be the sense or antisense strand.
If you're unsure about a specific context, providing more information will help clarify what "DNA sense" refers to.
