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 answer
    A
    Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  • B
    Both Statement I and Statement II are false
