During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces:
1. a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcript.
2. an identical, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcript.
3. a complementary, parallel RNA strand called a primary transcript.
4. an identical, antiparallel RNA strand called a final transcript.

Consider the two statements:
I. In bacteria, translation initiation occurs as soon as the 5' end of an mRNA is synthesized, and translation and transcription are coupled.
II. This is not possible in eukaryotes because transcription and translation are carried out in separate compartments of the cell             
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II is not a correct explanation of I
3. I is correct and II is incorrect
