The illustration below shows a portion of a gene undergoing
transcription. The bottom strand is the template strand and the top
strand is the coding strand for the gene. A segment of DNA sequence
is given. For this gene segment
a. Indicate the direction in
which RNA Polymerase moves as it transcribes the DNA sequence given
by drawing an arrow labeled “a”.
b. In the diagram above write the polarity and sequence of the
RNA transcript produced from the DNA sequence given.
c. Identify the direction in which the promoter for this gene is
located by drawing an arrow labeled “c”.
