Given below are two statements :
Statement I: The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the DNA into RNA is termed as transcription.
Statement II : A transcription unit in DNA is defined primarily by the three regions in the DNA, i.e., a promotor, the structural gene and a terminator.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Correct answerABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Both statements are correct.
The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the DNA into RNA is termed as transcription.
A transcription unit in DNA is defined primarily by the three regions in the DNA i.e. a promoter, the structural gene and a terminator.
