Question

when DNA replication takes place 2 daughter(replica) DNA are formed , then which one of these take part in transcription??

Answer 1

Dear student

During cell cycle, the cell first replicates its DNA to produce its two copies. During the process of division, cell divides into two daughter cells such that each one receives only a single copy of the DNA in the form of chromosome.

This single copy of DNA or single chromosome consists of two strands of DNA. The double stranded DNA has two strands of polarity 3′ → 5′ and 5′ → 3′

The strand with polarity 3′ → 5′ acts as a template (template strand or non coding strand) and the RNA strand is synthesised from this template strand by transcription.
