Question

The accompanying illustration shows a portion of a gene undergoing transcription. The template and coding strands for the gene are labeled, and a segment of DNA sequence is given. For this gene segment: (Figure 1) Part A During transcription, on which strand will RNA polymerase be located? on the template strand O on the coding strand O it depends on the orientation of the gene Figure 1 of 1 Submit Request Answer Part B Complete previous part(s) Part C Complete previous part(s) Part D Complete previous part(s) Coding strand 5 Template 3 strand 3

Explanation / Answer

On template strand

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that binds to promoter region. The promoter is the sequence present upstream of the begining of the gene. So, RNA polymerase would be located and bound to the promoter region present on the template strand.
