Question
Which of the following statements about the process of transcription is FALSE?
Transcription begins at the start codon and ends at the stop codon.
RNA polymerase is recruited to the promoter by general transcription factors.
RNA polymerase travels along the template strand in the 3' to 5' direction.
The RNA chain grows in the 5' to 3' direction.
The RNA product has the complementary sequence to the DNA template (with Us instead of Ts).
Transcription begins at the start codon and ends at the stop codon.
Explanation / Answer
Option A is incorrect start and stop codons are present in process of Translation
In transcription the polymerase moves along the template strand extending its growing chain in the 5 to 3 prime direction by the stepwise addition of ribonucleoside triphosphates untill it reaches the termination signal. and general transcription factors help in recruitment of RNA polymerase.
