Question

Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding transcription in most organisms?
A) All genes are transcribed from the same strand of DNA.
B) Both DNA strands are used to transcribe a single gene.
C) Different genes may be transcribed from different strands of DNA.
D) The DNA template strand is used to encode double-stranded RNA.
E) The DNA nontemplate strand is used to encode single-stranded RNA.
