Detailed explanation-1: -One of the two strands of the DNA double helix then acts as a template for the synthesis of an RNA molecule. As in DNA replication, the nucleotide sequence of the RNA chain is determined by the complementary base-pairing between incoming nucleotides and the DNA template.
Detailed explanation-2: -During transcription, a portion of the cell’s DNA serves as a template for creation of an RNA molecule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Messenger RNA (abbreviated mRNA) is a type of single-stranded RNA involved in protein synthesis. mRNA is made from a DNA template during the process of transcription.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transcription is performed by enzymes called RNA polymerases, which link nucleotides to form an RNA strand (using a DNA strand as a template).
Detailed explanation-5: -The term template strand refers to the DNA sequence that can duplicate itself during mRNA synthesis. The cell uses a non-coding/antisense DNA sequence as a template to produce mRNA.
