Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The DNA strand has a polarity of 3' - 5' and is referred to as the Template strand.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 non-template strand is referred to as the coding strand because its sequence will be the same as that of the new RNA molecule.
