Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
RNA polymerase adds nucleotides to a new RNA chain that are complementary to
A
the template strand
B
mRNA
C
coding strand
D
anticodon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The RNA chain produced by transcription-the transcript-is therefore elongated one nucleotide at a time, and it has a nucleotide sequence that is exactly complementary to the strand of DNA used as the template (Figure 6-7).

Detailed explanation-2: -Making RNA The strand used by RNA polymerase is called the template strand (aka noncoding or antisense) and is complementary to the resulting mRNA. The core enzyme adds RNA nucleotides in the 5′ to 3′ direction, based on the sequence of the template strand of DNA.
