MHT CET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 4. Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Identify the INCORRECT statement with reference to transcription unit.

A The promoter gene is located upstream towards the 5' end of structural gene.
B DNA dependent RNA polymerase catalyses polymerarisation in 5'→ 3' direction.
C The transcribed RNA is similar to the antisense strand of DNA except it has Uracil base in place of Thymine.
D The terminator is located downstream at 3' - end of coding strand.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The transcribed RNA is similar to the antisense strand of DNA except it has Uracil base in place of Thymine.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
