Transcription: Overview
This topic covers concepts, such as Transcription of DNA, Transcription Unit, Template Strand, Coding Strand, Promoter sequence, Structural Gene, Terminator sequence, Monocistronic Gene, Polycistronic Gene, Exons, Introns, etc.
Important Questions on Transcription
During transcription, the template strand is the one with the polarity:

TATA box of eukaryotic promotor lies

If coding strand of DNA has the following sequence, find the last codon to 5'- ATG CCT TTC TAG -3' coding strand incorporate amino acid in mRNA.

In eukaryotes, polymerase is responsible for synthesis of:

In the process of transcription, the strand of DNA with polarity _____ acts as a _____ strand.

The transcription of any gene is the indication of its

In a transcription unit in a DNA segment, a promoter is located

Select the correct statement:

The base sequence of mRNA is similar to ........................ except for that uracil will be present in place of thymine in mRNA.

Which ONE of the following polymerases transcribes

Which type of RNA polymerase enzyme transcribes precursor mRNA?

Which type of RNA polymerase enzyme transcribes precursor mRNA?

Find out the series of genes in the transcription unit of the following statements.
I. Located towards 3 '-end of the structural gene.
II. Flanked by the promoter and the terminator.
III. Located towards 3'-end of the coding strand.

Match the following
List-I | List - II | List -III |
i) | I) Transported out of nucleus | |
ii) Addition of methyl guanosine triphosphate |
II) 3 'end | |
C) Caping | iii) m-RNA | III) Transcribes by RNA polymerase |
D) Processed hn RNA |
iv) Addition of Adenylate Residue |
IV) 5 ' end of hn RNA |
The correct answer is

Assertion (A) : During transcription both the strands of DNA are copied
Reason If both strands act as template DNA would code for RNA molecule with different sequences

Identify the correct statement:

Assertion (A): The structural gene in a transcription unit can be said to be monocistronic or polycistronic.
Reason (R): In eukaryotes, the monocistronic structural gene has interrupted coding sequence - but the genes in eukaryotes split. The coding sequence or expressed sequences are defined as exons. Exons are said to be those sequence that appears in mature or processed
The correct answer is

What is the corresponding sequence of when a polynucleotide template strand is ?

Read the following statements and choose the correct option.
(i) Tailing: It is addition of adenylate residues at 5' -end in a template independent manner.
(ii) Promoter: It is the site recognised by the RNA polymerase in association with factor.
(iii) Division of labour: RNA polymerase I and RNA polymerase III are responsible for 18S rRNA and tRNA transcription respectively.
(iv) Capping: addition of methyl guanosine triphosphate at the 5'-end of hnRNA.

If the template strand of DNA is identify the sequence of RNA transcribed.
