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

The step within transcription is C.) The DNA strand is used as a template for which a complementary RNA strand can be produced.

Transcription is the transfer of genetic instructions from DNA to mRNA. It is in this process that a strand of mRNA is made that is complementary to the strand of DNA.
