You have obtained a sample of a small DNA fragment containing a gene. You transcribe mRNA from this DNA and purify it. You then separate the two strands of the DNA and analyze the base composition of each strand and of the mRNA. You obtain the following data:
mRNA: 11% A, 37% C, 29% G, 0% T, 22% U
Strand 1: 12% A, 38% C, 27% G, 23% T, 0% U
Strand 2: 24% A, 27% C, 38% G, 11% T, 0% U
Which strand of the DNA is the template strand?
