During transcription, RNA polymerase catalyzes the synthesis of an RNA molecule by base-pairing complementary RNA nucleotides with the DNA template strand. This complementary base pairing allows the RNA nucleotides to be connected to the DNA template, forming a growing strand of RNA that is identical in sequence to the non-template DNA strand.
No, RNA nucleotides in transcription pair with complementary DNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules (A-U, G-C), as opposed to replicating DNA in which DNA nucleotides pair with complementary DNA nucleotides (A-T, G-C).
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
DNA nucleotides: adenine nucleotide, guanine nucleotide, cytosine nucleotide, thymine nucleotideRNA nucleotides: adenine nucleotide, guanine nucleotide, cytosine nucleotide, uracil nucleotideBase-pairing in DNA: adenine and thymine, guanine and cytosineBase-pairing in RNA: adenine and uracil, guanine and cytosine
DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for adding nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication, using the base-pairing rules (A pairs with T, and G pairs with C).

Thymine is found on DNA nucleotides but not on RNA nucleotides. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for adding nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication, using the base-pairing rules (A pairs with T, and G pairs with C).
Although the base pairing between two strands of DNA in a DNA molecule can be thousands to millions of base pairs long, base pairing in an RNA molecule is limited to short stretches of nucleotides in the same molecule or between two RNA molecules.
The specific pairing between adenine and uracil, and cytosine and guanine, ensures complementary base pairing during transcription, where RNA nucleotides are matched to the DNA template strand. This specificity helps maintain the accuracy of the genetic code transfer from DNA to RNA by ensuring that the correct nucleotides are incorporated into the growing RNA strand. Ultimately, this base pairing specificity contributes to the fidelity and integrity of the genetic information being transcribed.
A basepair is a pair of nucleotides on opposite complementary DNA or RNA strands which are connected via hydrogen bonds.
The enzyme that matches RNA nucleotides to complementary DNA nucleotides is called reverse transcriptase. It is used by retroviruses like HIV to convert their RNA genome into DNA before integrating it into the host cell's genome.
RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by linking together RNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand in the 3' to 5' direction, synthesizing the RNA transcript in the 5' to 3' direction.
