Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): It is necessary to define the boundaries that would demarcate the region and the strand of DNA that would be transcribed.
Reason (R): Reason: Both strands of DNA are not copied during transcription.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are false.
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Consider the transcription unit given in the following diagram and choose the correct statements:
  

I. The promoter on the template is situated upstream and 5’ to the structural gene.
II. It is the presence of the structural gene that defines the template strand.
III. The coding strand does not code for anything and is displaced during transcription.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In transcription, the strand that does not code for anything is referred to as the coding strand.
Reason (R): It is the presence of the promoter in a transcription unit that defines the template and coding strands.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
