What happens to the DNA when transcription is complete?

It stays separated so another mRNA molecule can be created

It is used up and dissolves into the nuclear membrane

The separated DNA strands rejoin and travels to the ribosomes for translation

The separated DNA strands rejoin and remain in the nucleus

1 answer

When transcription is complete, the separated DNA strands rejoin and remain in the nucleus. The DNA is not used up during the transcription process; it serves as a template to synthesize mRNA, which then exits the nucleus for translation. Therefore, the correct answer is:

The separated DNA strands rejoin and remain in the nucleus.
