Assertion (A): Both the strands DNA are not copied during transcription.
Reason (R): The two RNA molecules if produced simultaneously would be complementary to each other, hence would form a double stranded RNA which would prevent RNA from being translated into protein.

The salient features of the Double-helix structure of DNA include all the following except:
1. It is made of two polynucleotide chains, where the backbone is constituted by
sugar-phosphate, and the bases project inside.
2. The two chains have anti-parallel polarity.
3. The bases in two strands are paired through hydrogen bonds (H-bonds)
forming base pairs (bp).
4. The two chains are coiled in a left-handed fashion.
