Student makes a claim that a cell is undergoing the process of transcription.what evidence would be present to support this claim?​

A)tRNA with anticondos is carrying amino acids to the ribosomes.
B) DNA polymerase is using both strands of DNA to produce multiple RNA molecules.
C)ribosomes are reading mRNA molecules three nucleotides at a time to synthesis proteins
D) RNA polymerase is using a single strand of the DNA molecule as a template for mRNA production

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA polymerase is using a single strand of the DNA molecule as a template for mRNA production. A model of transcription should produce RNA as an output. The process uses DNA (only the coding/reading strand) as a template to make single stranded mRNA.

Answer:

The correct answer is D RNA polymerase is using a single strand of the DNA molecule as a template for mRNA production.

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA polymerase play an important role in the formation of mRNA from DNA molecule in the nucleus by a process known as transcription.

During transcription RNA polymerase binds to the coding strand of DNA molecule and helps in the synthesis of mRNA strand by the addition of specific nucleotides complementary to the nucleotides present in DNA molecule. The nucleotides get attached to each other by phosphodiester bond.
