As in DNA replication, RNA is synthesized in the 5' â 3' direction (from the point of view of the growing RNA transcript). Only one of the two DNA strands is transcribed. This strand is called the template strand, because it provides the template for ordering the sequence of nucleotides in an RNA transcript.
The properties of the chemical elements are summarized on the periodic table, which organizes the elements by increasing atomic number into rows (periods) in which the columns (groups) share recurring (periodic) physical and chemical properties.
The periodic table of the elements. The periodic table is an arrangment of the chemical elements ordered by atomic number so that periodic properties of the elements (chemical periodicity) are made clear. Explore the chemical elements through this periodic table.
