Question
Synthesis of mRNA is1 pointin the 5' to 3' direction with new nucleotides being added to the 5' end of the mRNA molecule.in the 3' to 5' direction with new nucleotides being added to the 5' end of the mRNA molecule.in the 5' to 3' direction with new nucleotides being added to the 3' end of the mRNA molecule.in the 3' to 5' direction with new nucleotides being added to the 3' end of the mRNA molecule.able to proceed either from the 5' to 3' or 3' to 5' direction.
Solution
The synthesis of mRNA occurs in the 5' to 3' direction with new nucleotides being added to the 3' end of the mRNA molecule. This process is known as transcription and is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase. The enzyme moves along the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction, but the mRNA strand it synthesizes runs in the 5' to 3' direction.
