Q. With reference to the process of Transcription in eukaryotic cells, consider the following statements:
1.It involves the synthesis of an RNA molecule using a DNA strand as a template.
2.In eukaryotic cells, this process takes place primarily within the nucleus.
3.The enzyme RNA polymerase is the primary catalyst required for the synthesis of the RNA strand.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation:
Transcription is the first step of gene expression where DNA is copied into RNA. Since DNA is housed in the nucleus in eukaryotes, transcription happens there. RNA polymerase is the enzyme that reads the DNA and builds the RNA.
