A hypothetical sequence of a transcription unit is represented below
3'C G G A T A T C C A A T-5' Template strand 
5' G C C T A T A G G T T A-3' Coding strand
If we switch the position of promoter with terminator in the above given transcription unit and transcriotion occurs then the sequence of RNA transcribed will be 
1. 5'-C G G A U A U C C A A U-3'
2. 5'-G C C U A U A G G U U A-3'
3. 5'-A U U G G A U A U C C G-3'
4. 5'-U A A C C U A U A G G C-3'
