Question

which statement best summarizes what happens during transcription? a dna template is used to create an mrna strand. an mrna template is used to create a dna strand. a dna template is used to create a ribosome. an mrna template is used to create a trna strand.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process in which a DNA - template strand is used by RNA polymerase to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand. This is the first step in gene expression. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the process of transcription. mRNA is made from DNA, not the other way around for DNA synthesis. Ribosomes are not created from DNA templates in transcription, and tRNA is not made from an mRNA template during transcription.

Answer:

A. A DNA template is used to create an mRNA strand.
