AIIMS 2018 Botany Transcription MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statement is wrong about transcription in bacteria

A

Splicing is not required

B

Single RNA polymerase controls all DNA polymerases

C

This process required more/less energy

D

None

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The statement that a single RNA polymerase controls the DNA polymerases is incorrect because RNA polymerase and DNA polymerases are distinct enzymes with different roles in nucleic acid synthesis; RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription, while DNA polymerases are responsible for DNA replication and repair. Each enzyme operates independently, and their activities are regulated by different mechanisms and factors within the cell. The other options are not applicable as they do not provide any alternative statements or explanations relevant to the question. Understanding the distinct functions and regulatory pathways of these polymerases is crucial for grasping the complexities of gene expression and cellular processes.
