Indicate the direction in which RNA polymerase moves as it transcribes this gene. Indicate the direction in which RNA polymerase moves as it transcribes this gene. RNA polymerase moves along the template strand in a 5'-to-3' direction. RNA polymerase moves along the template strand in a 3'-to-5' direction. It depends on the orientation of the gene.

Answer:

RNA polymerase moves along the template strand in a 3'-to-5' direction.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase is an enzyme involved in the synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA molecule. The process of synthesis of an RNA molecule is known as transcription which takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotes.

The DNA strand which is transcribed into the RNA molecule is known as template DNA and run from the 3'to 5' end.

The RNA polymerase enzyme binds to the promoter region which initiates the reaction. The RNA polymerase enzyme forms the RNA molecule in 5'to 3' direction by adding new nucleotide at 3'end, therefore, it has to move on the template strand with 3' to 5' direction.

Thus, the selected option is correct,
