What happens to the other strand of the DNA molecule while the coding strand is making RNA?

Answer: Transcription is the first step of gene expression. During this process, the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into RNA. ... The other strand, the coding strand, is identical to the RNA transcript in sequence, except that it has uracil (U) bases in place of thymine (T) bases.

Hope this helps (:

Answer:

he other strand, the coding strand, is identical to the RNA transcript in sequence, except that it has uracil (U) bases in place of thymine (T) bases. ... If the gene that's transcribed encodes a protein (which many genes do), the RNA molecule will be read to make a protein in a process called translation.
