Question

mrna is synthesized in the ______ direction, which corresponds to the ______ of the protein.
o 5-to-3; n terminus to c terminus
o 3-to-5; c terminus to n terminus
o 5-to-3; c terminus to n terminus
o 3-to-5; n terminus to c terminus
o examples of all of the above have been found.

Explanation:

mRNA synthesis (transcription) proceeds in the 5'-to-3' direction. During translation, proteins are synthesized from the N terminus to the C terminus, which aligns with the mRNA's direction.

Answer:

5'-to-3'; N terminus to C terminus
