What is the polarity of transcription of gene? A. Antiparallel B. 3' -5' C. 5' - 3' D. Both strands of DNA
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the polarity of gene transcription, specifically which direction RNA is synthesized in relation to the DNA template strand. This requires an understanding of molecular biology concepts.
Answer
5' - 3'
The final answer is 5' - 3'.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is 5' - 3'.
More Information
Transcription proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction on the newly synthesized RNA strand. The RNA polymerase reads the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction, but the synthesis of RNA is always 5' to 3'.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse the directionality of RNA synthesis with the reading of the template strand.
