What will be the sequence of mRNA produced by the following stretch of DNA ?
3' ATGCATGCATGCATG5' TEMPLATE STRAND
5' TACGTACGTACGTAC3' CODING STRAND
DNA dependent RNA polymerase catalyze the polymerization in only one direction, that is, 5’→3’, the strand that has the polarity 3’→5’ acts as a template, and is also referred to as template strand.
