Question

What is the significance of the positive strand/sense of a given DNA sequence? (Remember, “positive strand/sense” is simply a convention)

Positive strand DNA is identical to the mRNA transcribed from the sequence

Positive strand DNA is complementary to the mRNA transcribed from the sequence

Positive strand DNA is used as the template for transcription into mRNA

Positive strand DNA confers electrical resistance to the DNA

Two of the above
