Given below are two statements
I: The process of transcription in eukaryotes with additional complexities -There are at least three RNA polymerases in the nucleus with clear cut division of labor. The RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNAs whereas the RNA polymerase III is responsible for transcription of tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNAs. The RNA polymerase II transcribes precursor of mRNA and hnRNA.
II: The primary transcripts contain both the exons and introns are non-functional. It is subjected to a process of splicing whereas the introns are removed and exons are joined in a defined order. hnRNA undergoes additional processing called as capping and tailing.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
1. Both statement I and statement II are true
2. Both statement I and statement II are false
3. Statement I is true but statement II is false
4. Statement I is false but statement II is true

The salient features of genetic code are
A. The codon is triplet, 61 codons for amino acids & 3 codons do not code for any amino acid, they function as stop codon
B. The codon is read in mRNA in contiguous fashion, no punctuations
C. UAA, UAG, UGA are stop terminator codons
D. Some codes are universal
E. AUG has dual function, it codes for phenylalanine (Phe) and it also acts as terminate the process
