Question

Which of the following describes the mRNA molecule produced from transcription?

The mRNA molecule is made using the coding strand of DNA, which depends on the gene being
transcribed.
O The mRNA molecule is made using the coding strand of DNA and is transcribed in the parallel
direction
The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being
transcribed.
O The mRNA molecule is identical to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed.

Answer 1

The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of the formation of RNA from DNA is called transcription.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to its DNA template as the enzyme, RNA polymerase matches the complementary bases to the original DNA strand and then initiates the process of RNA synthesis. Once the strand gets completed, the process got terminated.

Hence, the correct answer is "The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed."
