The correct answer is:
DNA template 3'– ……… –5'
RNA transcript 5'– ……… –3'
Protein product H2N– ……. –COOH
In nucleic acids, DNA and RNA 5’ end refers to phosphate group attached to the 5′ carbon of the ribose ring, while 3’ end refers to the ribose -OH substituent. Nucleic acids can only be synthesized in the 5′-to-3′ direction, which means that the DNA template is 3’—5’. Translation of the protein by the ribosome will also proceed in a 5′ to 3′ direction, which means that the mRNA template is 3’—5’.
The protein during the synthesis is extend from its N terminus toward its C terminus.
