Chains of nucleic acids have directionality and are read in a certain way just like languages are read from "left to right" or "right to left."
dna is always read in the___direction, whereas rna is read in the____direction.


Sagot :

DNA is always read in the direction 3' to 5', whereas RNA is read in the 5' to 3' direction.

RNA polymerase are responsible for synthesizing RNA strand complementary to a template DNA strand. They use to synthesizes the RNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction, while reading the template DNA strand in the 3' to 5' direction.

On the other hand DNA is always synthesized in the 5'-to-3' direction, That means that nucleotides are added only to the 3' end of the growing strand. 5'-phosphate group of the new nucleotide binds to the 3'-OH group of the last nucleotide of the growing strand.
