Question

ou have a segment of DNA that contains the following sequence s" 3-CCTGA -5 ou know that the RNA transcribed fom this segment contains the following sequence Which of the following choices best describes how transcription occurs? the top strand is the template strand RNA polymerase moves along this strand from 5, to y the top strand is the template strand; RNA polymerase moves along this strand from 3' to 5' the bottom strand is the template strand RNA polymerase moves along this strand from toY the bottom strand is the template strand RNA polymerase moves along this strand from 3 to 5

Explanation / Answer

The top strand is coding or sense strand and bottom strand is non-coding or template strand.

Transcription always takes place from 5' to 3' end.

So correct answer is option C- the bottom strand is template strand: RNA polymerase moves along this stand from 5' to 3'
