Assertion (A): In transcription the strand that does not code for anything is referred to as the coding strand.
Reason (R): All the reference point while defining a transcription unit is made with coding strand.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
