Template Strand
If a strand of DNA has the sequence aagctc, transcription will result in a mRNA molecule with the complementary sequence uucgag. Transcription is the process of creating a mRNA molecule using DNA as a template.
During transcription, RNA polymerase uses the template strand of DNA to create a complementary RNA strand.
The process by which a molecule of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA is called transcription. It occurs in the nucleus of a cell and involves the enzyme RNA polymerase, which reads one strand of the DNA molecule and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand. This new RNA molecule then serves as a template for protein synthesis.
The process in which a mRNA molecule forms (by base-pairing) along a part of a DNA molecule is called transcription.
During transcription, only one DNA strand is used as a template to synthesize an mRNA molecule. This strand is called the template or antisense strand. The other DNA strand, known as the coding or sense strand, is not used because it has the same sequence as the mRNA molecule being produced, except with thymine instead of uracil. Transcribing both strands would be redundant and energetically wasteful.
RNA polymerase builds the new strand of RNA during transcription. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides to create the complementary RNA strand based on the DNA template strand.
No, just one strand, the coding strand is used to create a mRNA molecule in the process of transcription.

During transcription, RNA polymerase uses the template strand of DNA to create a complementary RNA strand.
During transcription, only one of the two DNA strands is used as a template. This strand, known as the template strand, is read by RNA polymerase to synthesize a complementary RNA molecule. The other strand, called the coding strand, has the same sequence as the RNA (except for the substitution of uracil for thymine) but is not directly involved in the transcription process.

Asymmetrical transcription means that only one strand of the DNA molecule is used as template for the enzymatic formation of RNA.
transcription
mRNA (messenger RNA) is made in the process of transcription, which occurs in the nucleus of a cell. During transcription, the DNA sequence is used as a template to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand. This mRNA molecule then carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis.
During transcription, a hydrogen bond is formed between the complementary base pairs (A-U or A-T, and G-C) of the DNA template strand and the synthesized RNA nucleotides by RNA polymerase. These bonds help stabilize the formation of the mRNA molecule during transcription.
