Question

directions: the diagram shows a section of dna undergoing the transcription process. use the diagram to answer any questions that follow.
4 the purpose of transcription is to create
a. a sequence of rna bases that complements a sequence of dna bases.
b. a sequence of dna bases that duplicates a sequence of rna bases.
c. a sequence of rna bases that breaks down a sequence of dna bases.
d. a sequence of rna bases that deletes a

Explanation:

Transcription is a biological process where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template. In this process, the RNA sequence is complementary to the DNA sequence. Option B is incorrect as it mentions DNA duplication (which is replication). Option C is wrong as transcription does not break down DNA. Option D is incorrect as it does not delete DNA.

Answer:

A. a sequence of RNA bases that complements a sequence of DNA bases.
