Answer:
C
Explanation:
A)
DNA directs the synthesis of RNA.
B)
DNA splits into two strands of RNA.
C)
A strand of DNA is used as a template for the formation of RNA.
D)
Two strands of RNA are formed by copying each of the strands of DNA.
The correct answer would be that a strand of DNA is used as a template for the formation of RNA.
Transcription is a process during which RNA is synthesized using DNA as a template. The coding strand of the DNA is utilized as a template for the formation of messenger RNA. During this process, the double helix structure of the DNA is unwound by an enzyme and the coding strand is bound by a short DNA strand at the beginning of a gene while another enzyme adds RNA nucleotide bases to elongate the short strand.
The correct option is C.
Answer:
C) A strand of DNA is used as a template for the formation of RNA
Explanation:
During transcription, a portion of the cell's DNA serves as a template for creation of an RNA molecule. (RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is chemically similar to DNA).
