Why RNA chain is always transcribed on 3' to 5' template strand ?​

1 Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA growth is always in the 5′ → 3′ direction: in other words, nucleotides are always added at a 3′ growing tip, . Because of the ANTIPARALLEL nature of the nucleotide pairing, the fact that RNA is synthesized 5′ → 3′ means that the template strand must be oriented 3′ → 5′.
