Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. The promoter is located towards 3' end of the coding strand and it usually defines the end of the process of transcription. 2. A gene is defined as the functional unit of inheritance. 3. A cistron as a segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide, the structural gene in a Transcription unit could be said as monocistronic or polycistronic. 4. The ribosome cons

Options

  1. AAll are incorrect
  2. BOnly 3 is correct
  3. CAll are correct except 1
  4. DBoth 2 and 5 are incorrect

Correct answer

C. All are correct except 1

Step-by-step solution

The terminator is located towards 3' end of the coding strand and it usually defines the end of the process of transcription. A gene is defined as the functional unit of inheritance. A cistron as a segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide, the structural gene in a Transcription unit could be said as monocistronic or polycistronic.
