Question

Which of the following accurately describes a step within transcription?

A. DNA polymerase uses one strand of RNA as a template to put together nucleotides.
B. The RNA strand is produced within the cytoplasm.
C. The DNA strand is used as a template for which a complementary RNA strand can be produced.
D. The RNA strand forms a template by which DNA can be built

Answer 1

C) The RNA strand can be produced.

Answer 2

The answer is C. The DNA strand is used as a template for which a complementary RNA strand can be produced. Transcription is a molecular process in which RNA is produced using DNA as a template. Namely, one strand of DNA is used as a template for which a complementary RNA strand is produced. This is the first step in gene expression.
