35. CASE BASED QUESTIONS

The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the DNA into RNA is
termed as 

Transcription. The principle of complementarity governs the process of transcription,

except the

adenosine now forms base pair with uracil instead of thymine. In transcription, only a
segment of DNA and only one of the strands is copied into RNA.

Q 37. Why one strand of DNA gets copied to form RNA

i) If both the strands code for RNA, two different RNA molecules and Proteins would be
formed,

(ii) Since two RNA produced would be complementary to each other, they would form a
double- 

     stranded RNA without translation

(iii) double-stranded RNA will not undergo translation thus making the process of
transcription 

      futile.

(iv) So that transcription process would be fast.

Choose the correct option

*
(1 Point)

a). Only (i) is correct

b). Option (i), (ii) and (iii) are correct

c). Only option (iv) is correct

d). Option (ii) and (iii) are correct

36. What are the regions of transcription unit in DNA molecule? *

(1 Point)

(a) A promoter

(b) The structural gene

 (c) A terminator

(d) All of these

37. Mark the statement which is INCORRECT about the transcription unit? *

(1 Point)

a) It is a transcribed segment of DNA

b) Eukaryotes have monocistronic transcription unit

c) Prokaryotes also have a monocistronic transcription unit

d) Immediate product of transcription is primary transcript

38. Assertion: A single mRNA strand is capable to produce different polypeptide chains.

*
Reason: The mRNA strand has terminator codon .

(1 Point)

(a) If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(b) If both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(c) If A is true but R is false.

(d) If both A and R are false.
