• Synthesis of mRNA takes place in 5' → 3' direction • Reading of mRNA is always in 5' → 3' direction

Q. Statement I: Synthesis of mRNA takes place in $5^{'} \to 3^{'}$ direction.
Statement II : During translation, the codons of mRNA are always read in $3^{'} \to 5^{'}$ direction.

Only statement I is correct

Only statement II is correct

Both statements I and II are correct

Both statements I and II are incorrect

• Synthesis of $m RN A$ takes place in $5^{'} \to 3^{'}$ direction
• Reading of $m RN A$ is always in $5^{'} \to 3^{'}$ direction

Q. Statement I: Synthesis of mRNA takes place in 5′→3′ direction. Statement II : During translation, the codons of mRNA are always read in 3′→5′ direction.
