Your heart then pumps it through your body to provide oxygen to the cells of your tissues and organs. As the cells use the oxygen, carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed into the blood. Your blood then carries the carbon dioxide back to your lungs, where it is removed from the body when you exhale.
DNA polymerase has 5'-3' activity. All known DNA replication systems require a free 3' hydroxyl group before synthesis can be initiated (note: the DNA template is read in 3' to 5' direction whereas a new strand is synthesized in the 5' to 3' directionâthis is often confused).
The antisense strand of DNA is read by RNA polymerase from the 3' end to the 5' end during transcription (3' â 5'). The complementary RNA is created in the opposite direction, in the 5' â 3' direction, matching the sequence of the sense strand with the exception of switching uracil for thymine.ranscription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
