DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyses transcription on one strand of the DNA which is called the?
template strand
coding strand
\alpha strand
anti strand
the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyses polymerisation only in one direction (5'→3'). The strand that has the polarity 3'→5' acts as a template for this process and is referred to as the template strand. The other strand, which has the polarity 5'→3' and the sequence same as RNA (except thymine instead of uracil), is referred to as the coding strand .
