E) a single-stranded DNA molecule is replicated.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process by which information in DNA is used to synthesize an RNA molecule. This occurs through the formation of base-pairing interactions between the template strand of DNA and complementary ribonucleoside triphosphates to form an RNA molecule. The resulting RNA molecule is a complementary copy of the DNA sequence and can be used to direct the synthesis of a protein through the process of translation.
