Question
Both DNA and RNA are long chains of nucleotides. Nucleotides are made up of a phosphate group, a nitrogen base, and a five-carbon sugar. The carbons in the sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA) are numbered 1′ to 5′. The nitrogen base is on the 1′ carbon, the phosphate is on the 5′ carbon, and there is a hydroxyl group on the 3′ carbon of a nucleotide.

When nucleotides are joined together, the hydroxyl group is replaced by the phosphate from the 5′ carbon of the second nucleotide. Because of this, nucleic acids have directionality.

Which of the following rows is true regarding transcription and translation?
Select one:
a.
Transcription Translation
mRNA grows 5' to 3'. Ribosomes move 3' to 5' along mRNA.
b.
Transcription Translation
mRNA grows 3' to 5'. Ribosomes move 5' to 3' along mRNA.
c.
Transcription Translation
mRNA grows 3' to 5'. Ribosomes move 3' to 5' along mRNA.
d.
Transcription Translation
mRNA grows 5' to 3'. Ribosomes move 5' to 3' along mRNA.
