Question

During eukaryotic transcription, an RNA molecule is formed that is (1 point)complementary to both strands of DNA.
identical to an entire single strand of DNA.
double-stranded and inside the nucleus.
complementary to part of one strand of DNA.

Answer 1

TRANSCRIPTION is where we take DNA,
and we use it, in order to create RNA.

Take a look at this picture:

It's a picture of TRANSCRIPTION, in action.

Take a look at the top half of the picture.

Do you see those two BLUE strands?
Those are the DNA strands.

And in the middle of those two blue strands,
we can see a PURPLE strand.
That's the RNA strand.

DNA is DOUBLE stranded. It has TWO strands.

RNA is SINGLE stranded. It only has ONE strand.

And, if you look at the picture,
you can see that the RNA strand is being made from only ONE of the two DNA strands.

RNA strands are complementary to ONE (of the two) DNA strands.
