Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is double-stranded, but only one strand serves as a template for transcription at any given time. This template strand is called the noncoding strand. The nontemplate strand is referred to as the coding strand because its sequence will be the same as that of the new RNA molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). DNA safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference, or template.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transcription Direction and Base Pairing: Transcription is the process of creating mRNA from DNA, which always occurs in the 3’-5’ direction along the DNA template strand, thus creating mRNA in the 5’-3’ direction.
