Question
A molecule synthesized by complementary base pairing of ribonucleotides with deoxyribonucleotides to match a portion of one strand of DNA coding for a polypeptide or protein.1 pointRNADNAAmino AcidProtein
Solution
The answer is RNA. The process described is transcription, where a portion of the DNA is used as a template to synthesize RNA. This RNA molecule is complementary to the DNA strand and codes for a polypeptide or protein.
