In the elongation phase, RNA polymerase perform one twist of DNA and as resault of that chains are being seperated. One of the chains serves as a matrix according to which the RNA polymerase is puting complemetary nucleotides of RNA in the 5'-3' direction. The enzyme RNA polymerese goes along the DNA chain and perform repairs.
