Select the correct option.

Easy

A

Direction of RNA synthesis-5' →3'; Direction of reading of the template DNA strand-3' →5'
B

Direction of RNA synthesis-3' → 5'; Direction of reading of the template DNA strand-5' → 3'
C

Direction of RNA synthesis-5' →3'; Direction of reading of the template DNA strand-5'→3'
D

Direction of RNA synthesis-3'→5'; Direction of reading of the template DNA strand-3'→ 5'

Solution

DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyse the polymerisation in only one direction, that is, 5'→3' and therefore direction of RNA synthesis is 5' →3'.
The strand that has the polarity 3'→5' acts as a template, and is also referred to as template strand.
