The RNA Transcript is Complimentary To

Question

The RNA transcript is complimentary to
A) Regulatory sequences
B) Termination sequences
C) The coding strand of DNA
D) The template strand of DNA

Accepted Answer

The RNA transcript is synthesized by using the template strand of DNA as a guide to determine the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA molecule. Therefore, the RNA transcript is complementary to the template strand of DNA. The coding strand of DNA has the same sequence as the RNA transcript, except that thymine is replaced by uracil. Regulatory sequences and termination sequences are not involved in the synthesis of RNA transcripts.
