Question

For every gene, an RNA molecule is produced through the process of transcription/translation from ____ strand called?

The other strand is called what and what is its importance?
The ___________ strand is read in what direction?
mRNA is synthesized in what direction and by what enzyme?
A) Template, Coding, Non-template, 3' to 5', 5' to 3', RNA polymerase
B) Coding, Template, Antisense, 5' to 3', 3' to 5', DNA polymerase
C) Non-template, Template, Sense, 3' to 5', 5' to 3', RNA ligase
D) Antisense, Sense, Non-coding, 5' to 3', 3' to 5', DNA ligase

Answer 1

In transcription, the template strand of DNA is used to synthesize RNA in the 5' to 3' direction by RNA polymerase, while the coding strand has the same sequence as the RNA except for the replacement of T with U.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every gene, an RNA molecule is produced through the process of transcription from the template strand, which is read in the 3' to 5' direction. The other strand is called the coding strand or non-template strand, and it is similar to the mRNA except that thymine (T) in DNA is replaced with uracil (U) in RNA. mRNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction by the enzyme RNA polymerase. The correct answer to the question is A) Template, Coding, Non-template, 3' to 5', 5' to 3', RNA polymerase.
