Vedclass · Answer

(C) In a transcription unit,the $DNA$ strand with polarity $3' \rightarrow 5'$ acts as the template strand,and the strand with $5' \rightarrow 3'$ polarity acts as the coding strand.Option $A$ is correct: The promoter is located at the $5'$ end of the structural gene (upstream).Option $B$ is correct: $DNA$ dependent $RNA$ polymerase catalyzes polymerization only in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction.Option $C$ is incorrect: The transcribed $RNA$ is complementary to the template strand (antisense strand) and identical to the coding strand (sense strand),except for the presence of Uracil instead of Thymine. It is not similar to the antisense strand.Option $D$ is correct: The terminator is located at the $3'$ end of the coding strand (downstream).
