The correct answer is:
Only ii is incorrect
-Transcription is under the control of the enzyme RNA POLYMERASE (DNA dependent RNA polymerase)
-The promoter is the place which promotes transcription and promoter is situated upstreams of a structural gene at 5’
-Terminator is situated downstream of the structural gene at the 3’ end of the coding strand.
-One of the two strands of DNA takes part in transcription and which strand take part in transcription is known as master strand/antisense strand/non-coding strand/template strand/negative strand
-The promoter is the place which promotes transcription and promoter is situated upstreams of a structural gene at 5’
-Terminator is situated downstream of the structural gene at the 3’ end of the coding strand.
-One of the two strands of DNA takes part in transcription and which strand take part in transcription is known as master strand/antisense strand/non-coding strand/template strand/negative strand
