Select the correct option:
  1. Direction of RNA synthesis Direction of reading of the template DNA strand
    5'-3' 3'-5'
  2. Direction of RNA synthesis Direction of reading of the template DNA strand
    3'-5' 5'-3'
  3. Direction of RNA synthesis Direction of reading of the template DNA strand
    5'-3' 5'-3'
  4. Direction of RNA synthesis Direction of reading of the template DNA strand
    3'-5' 3'-5'

Solution

The RNA polymerase enzyme proceeds to synthesize RNA in 5I to 3I direction and the template DNA shows the opposite polarity of 3I to 5I direction.
