Question

what is the role of dna in transcription? a. dna serves as a template for the synthesis of a dna strand. b. rna serves as a template for the synthesis of an rna strand c. dna serves as a template for the synthesis of an rna strand. d. dna serves as a template for the synthesis of a dna polymerase.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of copying genetic information from DNA to RNA. DNA provides the template for RNA synthesis. Option A is about DNA - to - DNA synthesis (replication), option B is incorrect as RNA is not the template in transcription, and option D is wrong as DNA polymerase synthesis is not related to transcription.
