mRNA synthesis direction, A Serious confusion !!!!

Recommended Posts

As we know that the promoter is present in the start of a gene i.e. at 5' and RNA polymerase attaches on promoter to start mRNA synthesis. If it so, then, when RNA polymerase start its function to form mRNA it should be synthesize from 3'-5'.

e.g.

5' CGAGGTCC 3' is a gene sequence then promoter region is present at 5' which allows RNA polymerase to attach. Then RNA polmerase moves from 5'-3', if it is so, then in which direction mRNA should synthesize?
