Q. DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes transcription on one strand of the DNA which is called the

Q. In transcription, against which strand of DNA does the DNA dependent RNA polymerase catalyse the process?

Q. How many of the following statements are correct with respect to transcription?

i) Both the strands of DNA function as template for transcription

ii) The transcribed strand separates from the template strand

iii) A primer is required for transcription

iv) A double stranded RNA is formed after transcription

v) RNA polymerase catalyses the process of transcription

Q. “Both the strands of DNA are not copied during transcription”.
Choose the correct reasons from the following.

A. If both strands of DNA act as a template, RNA would be coded with different sequences, leading to formation of two different polypeptide chains from the same segment of DNA.

B. If both strands of DNA act as a template, RNA would be coded with different sequences, leading to formation of the same polypeptide chains from the same segment of DNA.

C. If both strands of DNA act as a template for transcription, it simplifies the genetic information transfer machinery.

D. If both strands of DNA act as a template for transcription, it complicates the genetic information transfer machinery.

E. If both strands of DNA act as a template for transcription, dsRNA would be formed which would prevent protein formation.
