DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes transcription on one strand of the DNA, which is called the:

Options

  1. ATemplate strand
  2. BCoding strand
  3. CAlpha strand
  4. DAntistrand

Correct answer

A. Template strand

Step-by-step solution

The DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyses the polymerisation in only one direction that is 5'→\to3' DNA. RNA polymerase moves from the 3′ end of the template strand, creating an RNA strand that grows in a 5′ → 3′ direction.
