Question

Which of the following statement(s) are correct in describing the gene in DNA?
Statement I: The start/initiator codon for the genes can be found on the \(5^{\prime} \rightarrow 3^{\prime}\) strand of DNA
Statement II: The start/initiator codon for the genes can be found on the \(3^{\prime} \rightarrow 5^{\prime}\) strand of DNA
Choose the correct answer from the options given below: [Question ID = 656][Question Description = 156_34_PLB_AUG22_Q56]

• A. Statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct [Option ID = 2621]
• B. Statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect [Option ID = 2622]
• C. Both the statements are correct [Option ID = 2623]
• D. Both the statements are incorrect [Option ID = 2624]

Hint:

Always remember: mRNA sequence = DNA Coding Strand sequence (with U instead of T). Both are written and read in the \(5^{\prime}\) to \(3^{\prime}\) direction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
