| Statement I: | In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase is capable of catalysing the process of elongation during transcription. |
| Statement II: | RNA polymerase associates transiently with 'Rho' factor to initiate transcription. |
| Statement I: | In eukaryotes, there are three RNA polymerases in the nucleus in addition to the RNA polymerase found in the organelle. |
| Statement II: | All the three RNA polymerases in eukaryotic nucleus have different roles. |
| 1. | 3' ATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCG 5' |
| 2. | 5' UAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGC 3' |
| 3. | 3' UAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGCUAGC 5' |
| 4. | 5' ATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCG 3' |
| I: | The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the DNA into RNA is termed as transcription |
| II: | A transcription unit in DNA is defined primarily by the three regions in the DNA i.e. a promoter, the structural gene and a terminator. |
Identify the correct statement:
| 1. | The coding strand in a transcription unit is copied to an mRNA. |
| 2. | Split gene arrangement is characteristic of prokaryotes. |
| 3. | In capping, methylguanosine triphosphate is added to the 3' end of hnRNA. |
| 4. | RNA polymerase binds with the Rho factor to terminate the process of transcription in bacteria. |
