Term Location A. Promoter 1. Located towards 3' -end (downstream) of the coding strand. B. Terminator 2. Located towards 5' -end (upstream) of the structural gene. C. Coding Strand 3. The strand with 5'→3' polarity that matches the RNA sequence (except thymine/uracil). D. Template Strand 4. The strand with 3'→5' polarity that serves as the template for RNA synthesis.

Options

  1. AA - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
  2. BA - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
  3. CA - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1
  4. DA - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2

Correct answer

A. A - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4

Step-by-step solution

A - 2: The Promoter is located towards the 5' -end (upstream) of the structural gene. B - 1: The Terminator is located towards the 3' -end (downstream) of the coding strand. C - 3: The Coding Strand has 5'→3' polarity and matches the RNA sequence (except thymine/uracil). D - 4: The Template Strand has 3'→5' polarity and serves as the template for RNA synthesis.
