    The correct answer will be

    1. Two strands - sense and anti-sense

    2. Transcribed strand - Antisense strand (template strand).

    Explanation:

    In genetics, the two strands of DNA are known as the Sense and antisense strands.

    The sense strand is the coding strand which runs from the 5' end to 3' which is not coded into the mRNA molecule. The other strand which is converted to the mRNA molecule is known as the anti-sense strand or template strand which runs from the 3' end to 5' end.

    The antisense strand provides the codons for the protein. Thus, the answer is correct.
