Q. Consider the following statements (A) During transcription, only one strand of DNA is copied for the formation of RNA. (B) The RNA strand formed during transcription contains base sequences complementary to that of DNA. Select the correct option
A) A is true, B is false
B) Both A and B are false
C) A is false, B is true
D) Both A and B are true
Explanation
