One strand of DNA serves as a template while the other strand can be
referred to as

In DNA replication, each strand of the original DNA serves as a template for the synthesis of a complementary strand. In transcription, a segment of DNA serves as a template for the synthesis of an RNA sequence. RNA polymerase is the primary enzyme needed for transcription.

Explanation:

DNA is double-stranded, but only one strand serves as a template for transcription at any given time. This template strand is called the noncoding strand. The nontemplate strand is referred to as the coding strand because its sequence will be the same as that of the new RNA molecule.
