Solution
The DNA strand that is read to make RNA is known as the template strand. This is because it provides the template for ordering the sequence of nucleotides in an RNA transcript. The RNA polymerase reads the template strand in the 3' to 5' direction and synthesizes the RNA from 5' to 3'. The RNA transcript is complementary to the template strand and is almost identical to the other DNA strand, called the non

Since DNA is double-stranded, either strand could serve as template for the production of a messenger RNA molecule. The strand that is used to direct mRNA synthesis is known as the strand.
