Identify the correct statement.
In capping, methyl guanosine triphosphate is added to the 3ā end of hnRNA.
RNA polymerase binds with Rho factor to terminate the process of transcription in bacteria.
The coding strand in a transcription unit is copied to an mRNA.
Split gene arrangement is characteristic of prokaryotes.
To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement and determine which one is correct. Let's evaluate each option:Option 1: In capping, methyl guanosine triphosphate is added to the 3' end of hnRNA. - Capping involves the addition of a 7-methylguanosine cap to the 5' end of hnRNA, not the 3' end. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Option 2: RNA polymerase binds with Rho factor to terminate the process of transcription in bacteria. - In bacteria, the Rho factor is a protein that facilitates the termination of transcription by binding to the RNA polymerase and causing it to dissociate from the DNA. - This statement is correct.Option 3: The coding strand in a transcription unit is copied to an mRNA. - During transcription, the template strand (not the coding strand) is used to synthesize mRNA. - The coding strand has the same sequence as the mRNA (except for uracil replacing thymine), but it is not directly copied. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Option 4: Split gene arrangement is characteristic of prokaryotes. - Split genes, which contain introns and exons, are characteristic of eukaryotes, not prokaryotes. - Prokaryotic genes are typically continuous without introns. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Based on the analysis, the correct statement is Option 2: RNA polymerase binds with Rho factor to terminate the process of transcription in bacteria.
