Why both the strands of DNA are not copied during transcription because

1. RNA molecules with different sequences will be produced and hence proteins with different sequences will be produced.

2. double stranded RNA molecules will be produced that would prevent translation of dsRNA

3. cell will fail to produce proteins as no single stranded RNA is present

4. All of the above
