Show Hint
- 7, 7
- 8, 7
- 8, 8
- 7, 8
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 2: The diagram $5' \sim \sim \sim \sim \sim 3'$ typically represents a sequence with alternating exons and introns. If the diagram implies 15 total segments (as a simplified representation), we interpret it as 8 exons (including the ends) and 7 introns (the segments between exons).
Step 3: This matches the pattern of eukaryotic transcription where introns are removed, leaving exons in the mature mRNA.
Thus, the hnRNA has 7 introns and 8 exons.

The process of copying the genetic information from one strand of DNA into RNA is termed as transcription. The principle of complementarity of bases governs the process of transcription, also except that uracil comes in place of thymine.
Study the complete transcription unit given below and answer the following questions:
(a) Name the main enzyme involved in the process of transcription.
(b) Identify coding strand and template strand of DNA in the transcription unit.
Attempt either sub-part (c) or (d):
(c) Identify (C) and (D) in the diagram, mention their significance in the process of transcription.
OR
(d) Describe the location of (C) and (D) in the transcription unit.}
