Given below are two statements:
I: The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the DNA into RNA is termed as transcription
II: A transcription unit in DNA is defined primarily by the three regions in the DNA i.e. a promoter, the structural gene and a terminator.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
2. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
