When the RNA strand is elongated, what is the next nucleotide that will be added in
the process of transcription and why?
C, because the A in the RNA sequence is the 3' end, and RNA polymerase
synthesizes RNA 5' to 3', antiparallel to the template strand that has a G
nucleotide
U, because the G in the RNA sequence is the 5' end, and RNA polymerase
synthesizes RNA 3' to 5', antiparallel to the template strand that has an A
nucleotide
C, because the A in the RNA sequence is the 5' end, and RNA polymerase
synthesizes RNA 3' to 5', antiparallel to the template strand that has a G
nucleotide
U, because the G in the RNA sequence is the 3' end, and RNA polymerase
synthesizes RNA 5' to 3', antiparallel to the template strand that has an A
nucleotide
