Question

analyze the diagram of transcription above. which three statements correctly describe the process of transcription? select the three best answers.
rna polymerase converts the dna strands in the gene into an rna strand.
the newly made rna strand forms hydrogen bonds with one of the dna strands in the gene.
the newly made rna strand has the same sequence as one of the dna strands in the gene, except it has us in place of ts.
inside rna polymerase, each adenine (a) in one of the dna strands pair with a uracil (u) in the newly made rna strand.

Explanation:

1. RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription, so "RNA polymerase converts the DNA strands in the gene into an RNA strand" is correct.
2. During transcription, the newly - made RNA strand forms hydrogen bonds with the DNA template strand, so "The newly made RNA strand forms hydrogen bonds with one of the DNA strands in the gene" is correct.
3. The newly made RNA strand is complementary to one of the DNA strands in the gene, not having the same sequence (except for U instead of T). It pairs bases according to base - pairing rules (A - U, T - A, C - G, G - C), so the statement about having the same sequence is incorrect.
4. Inside RNA polymerase, adenine (A) in the DNA strand pairs with uracil (U) in the newly made RNA strand following base - pairing rules for transcription, so "Inside RNA polymerase, each adenine (A) in one of the DNA strands pair with a uracil (U) in the newly made RNA strand" is correct.

Answer:

RNA polymerase converts the DNA strands in the gene into an RNA strand.
The newly made RNA strand forms hydrogen bonds with one of the DNA strands in the gene.
Inside RNA polymerase, each adenine (A) in one of the DNA strands pair with a uracil (U) in the newly made RNA strand.
