**Question in Transcription: Nucleotide Addition** In transcription, to which end of the elongating strand are nucleotides always added? - ○ 3' in prokaryotes and 5' in eukaryotes - ○ 3' - ○ Depending on which side it started - ○ 5' in eukaryotes 3' in eukaryotes - ○ 5' *Explanation*: During the process of transcription, nucleotides are consistently added to the 3' end of the growing RNA strand in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is a fundamental characteristic of directionality in nucleic acid synthesis, ensuring proper polymerization and sequence fidelity.
