Answer 1

Answer:

During elongation, core polymerase moves down the double stranded DNA, unwinding it and transcribing (copying) its nucleotide sequence into newly synthesized RNA. New nucleotides complementary to the DNA template strand are synthesized to the 3' end of the RNA strand.

Answer 2

Answer:

hey..

Genes are composed of DNA sequences while chromosomes are entire DNA strands that are packed tightly together so they can fit into a cell. So, the entire chromosome is lined with genes. In other words, one chromosome contains several genes, while that cannot be said the other way around.
