Assertion - In transcription only one strand of DNA strand is copied into RNA by DNA dependent RNA polymerase.
Reason- When two RNA strands produced simultaneously would be complementary to each other and hence would form a double stranded RNA.
In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R)
If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark A
If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark B
If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark C
If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark D
In transcription only one strand of DNA strand is copied into RNA by DNA dependent RNA polymerase. If both DNA strands act as a template, they would code for RNA molecules with different sequences and in turn, if they code for protein, this will complicate the genetic information.
When two RNA strands produced simultaneously would be complementary to each other and hence would form a double stranded RNA.
Option 1 is the correct answer.
