KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 5. Molecular Basis of Inheritance
Read the following statements carefully and choose the correct statements.
(A) In a transcription unit, the promoter is located at the 5' end of coding strand.
(B) The single strand DNA having the polarity 5'→ 3' is the template strand.
(C) RNA polymerase binds to the operator during transcription.
(D) Single base DNA differences occur in humans are called Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs).
- A Statements A and B
- B Statements B and C
- C Statements B and D
- D Statements A and D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Statements A and D
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) Statements A and D,
Template strand has polarity 3' → 5'. It serves as a temple for RNA synthesis. RNA polymerase binds to promoter and initates transcription.
