Which of the following statement is not true ?

In replication the total DNA of an organism gets duplicated

In transcription complete one strand of the DNA gets copied

In transcription only a segment of only one strands of the DNA gets copied

Both b and c

Explanation

solution- Refer NCERT, heading 6.5, page-107, para 1 line 7^th

Why both the strands of DNA are not copied during transcription because

RNA molecules with different sequences will be produced and hence proteins with different sequences will be produced.

double stranded RNA molecules will be produced that would prevent translation of dsRNA

cell will fail to produce proteins as no single stranded RNA is present

All of the above
