Question
What molecule is synthesized during transcription? A double stranded RNA molecule A double stranded DNA molecule A single stranded DNA molecule complementary to the template strand of DNA A single stranded RNA molecule complementary to the DNA strand used as template A single stranded RNA molecule identical to the template strand of DNA
Solution
During transcription, a single stranded RNA molecule complementary to the DNA strand used as template is synthesized. This process involves the enzyme RNA polymerase that binds to the DNA strand and synthesizes the RNA strand in a 5' to 3' direction. The RNA molecule is complementary to the DNA strand used as a template, meaning that for every adenine (A) in the DNA strand, there is a uracil (U) in the RNA strand, and for every cytosine (C) in the DNA, there is a guanine (G) in the RNA, and vice versa.
