$A$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) During the process of transcription, the enzyme $RNA$ polymerase catalyzes the synthesis of $RNA$ in the $5'$ to $3'$ direction.The $DNA$ template strand, which is used for complementary base pairing, has a polarity of $3'$ to $5'$.Therefore, the $RNA$ polymerase reads the template $DNA$ strand in the $3'$ to $5'$ direction to synthesize a new $RNA$ strand in the $5'$ to $3'$ direction.Thus, option $A$ is the correct choice.

Direction of $RNA$ synthesis	Direction of reading of the template $DNA$
$A$. $5'-3'$	$3'-5'$
$B$. $3'-5'$	$5'-3'$
$C$. $5'-3'$	$5'-3'$
$D$. $3'-5'$	$3'-5'$

Select the correct option regarding the direction of $RNA$ synthesis and the direction of reading of the template $DNA$ strand.
