The correct answer is:
DNA template 3'β β¦β¦β¦ β5'
RNA transcript 5'β β¦β¦β¦ β3'
Protein product H2Nβ β¦β¦. βCOOH
In nucleic acids, DNA and RNA 5β end refers to phosphate group attached to the 5β² carbon of the ribose ring, while 3β end refers to the ribose -OH substituent. Nucleic acids can only be synthesized in the 5β²-to-3β² direction, which means that the DNA template is 3ββ5β. Translation of the protein by the ribosome will also proceed in a 5β² to 3β² direction, which means that the mRNA template is 3ββ5β.
The protein during the synthesis is extend from its N terminus toward its C terminus.
