Synthesis of mRNA takes place by RNA polymerase in 5' → 3' direction, complementary to DNA template strand. The reading of mRNA is also done in the same 5' → 3' direction.

Q. Read the statements (A) and (B). Choose the right one.
(A) Synthesis of mRNA takes place in 5' - 3' direction.
(B) Reading of mRNA is always in 3' - 5' direction.

Both the statements are wrong.

Statement (A) is wrong, (B) is correct

Statement (B) is wrong, (A) is correct

Both the statements (A) and (B) are correct.

Synthesis of mRNA takes place by RNA polymerase in 5' $\to$ 3' direction, complementary to DNA template strand. The reading of mRNA is also done in the same 5' $\to$ 3' direction.
