The opposite strand is called coding strand or sense strand in transcription because:
Correct answer: C. Its codes are similar to mRNA codes
- A. It has opposite codes of template strand
- B. It has similar codes as of template strand
- C. Its codes are similar to mRNA codes
- D. Its codes are opposite to mRNA codes
Explanation
The coding (sense) strand has a sequence that matches the sequence of the mRNA transcript, except that it contains thymine (T) instead of uracil (U) since it's still DNA.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
