A template strand of DNA is read in the _____ direction in order to direct synthesis of RNA in the _____ direction.
Gelneren [198K]
The RNA synthesis or ADN transcription occurs in the nucleus and requires:
  - DNA strand to act as a template.
  - Enzymes, specially the RNA-polymerase.
  - Ribonucleotides of Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil.
This consist of three maturation of the 3'-->5' direction while the sense of RNA synthesis is 5'-->3'.
This is fulfilled because the enzyme selects the ribonucleotide whose base is complementary to the DNA chain that acts as a template, and binds it by means of a nucleotide bond, releasing a phosphate group.
