Assertion: In transcription the DNA strand that has the polarity [3’→5’] acts as the template.
Reason: RNA polymerase catalyses polymerisation in only one direction – 3’ – 5’.
1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.

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).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.

In the lac operon, transcription is regulated by a repressor protein and only takes place in the presence of lactose. Which of the following statements is correct?
1. The repressor protein binds to the promoter site to inhibit transcription.
2. Lactose binds to the promoter site to initiate transcription.
3. Lactose binds to the repressor protein to inhibit transcription.
4. The repressor protein binds the operator site to inhibit transcription.
