A) DNA nucleotides are added to the transcript

Question

During the elongation stage of transcription ____.
A) DNA nucleotides are added to the transcript
B) the transcript grows in the 5'->3' direction
C) transcription factors recruit RNA polymerase to the template strand
D) the double helix remains single-stranded after being used as a template
E) RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the elongation stage of transcription, the RNA transcript is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction. This means that nucleotides are added to the 3' end of the growing RNA molecule as it is synthesized from the DNA template.
