NEET Botany Transcription MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

Which of the following statements about transcription and gene structure is correct?

A

RNA polymerase requires initiation and termination factors to start and stop transcription.

B

All genes in eukaryotes are polycistronic due to interrupted coding sequences.

C

Introns appear in mature RNA and are essential for protein coding.

D

Exons are sequences that are removed from the RNA during processing.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

RNA polymerase catalyzes elongation and associates with initiation-factor (σ) and termination-factor (ρ) for transcription initiation and termination, respectively. Monocistronic genes are typical in eukaryotes, while introns are non-coding sequences that do not appear in mature RNA.
