(A) During the process of transcription, the enzyme $RNA$ polymerase catalyzes the synthesis of $RNA$ in the $5'$ to $3'$ direction.The $DNA$ template strand, which is used for complementary base pairing, has a polarity of $3'$ to $5'$.Therefore, the $RNA$ polymerase reads the template $DNA$ strand in the $3'$ to $5'$ direction to synthesize a new $RNA$ strand in the $5'$ to $3'$ direction.Thus, option $A$ is the correct choice.

Which of the following is not a part of a transcription unit in $DNA$?

Medium

View Solution

Assertion: The transcription and translation can be coupled in bacteria.
Reason: In bacteria,since the $\text{mRNA}$ does not require any processing to become active,and also since transcription and translation take place in the same compartment.
