RNA polymerase recruits and adds complementary _____ based on the DNA sequence during transcription.

DNA nucleotides

RNA nucleotides

During transcription, RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and builds an RNA strand by adding ribonucleotides that pair with the template bases. Each DNA base guides which RNA base is added: A in DNA template pairs with U in RNA, T with A, C with G, and G with C. This makes an RNA transcript that uses ribose and uracil, not deoxyribose and thymine. So the building blocks incorporated are RNA nucleotides.

Amino acids
