Question

A template strand of DNA is read in the _____ direction in order to direct synthesis of RNA in the _____ direction.

Answer 1

Answer:

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

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

Explanation:

Answer 2

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.
