QUESTION 36 Consider the region of DNA below a segment of a bacterial gene. Several features of a "gene have been left out of this segment (eg promoter, terminator).

Answer 1

36.RNA polymerase synthesizes an RNA strand complementary to a template DNA strand. It synthesizes the RNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction, while reading the template DNA strand in the 3' to 5' direction. The template DNA strand and RNA strand are antiparallel although when features are left out

Hence statement is true
