Analyze each statement and decide which are CORRECT.
A)RNA polymerase simultaneously transcribes both strands of DNA
B)It is possible for one RNA polymerase to transcribe one strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction and another RNA polymerase to transcribe the complimentary strand of DNA in the 3' to 5' direction,producing two identical transcripts
C)It is possible for one RNA polymerase to transcribe one strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction and another RNA polymerase to transcribe the complimentary strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction,producing two identical transcripts
D)It is possible for one RNA polymerase to transcribe one strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction and another RNA polymerase to transcribe the complimentary strand of DNA in the 3' to 5' direction,producing two different transcripts
E)It is possible for one RNA polymerase to transcribe one strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction and another RNA polymerase to transcribe the complimentary strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction,producing two different transcripts

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA polymerase transcribes DNA in the 5' to 3' direction. If two RNA polymerases transcribe complementary strands in the 5' to 3' direction, they will produce different transcripts because they are transcribing different sequences.
