Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Arrange the steps for transcription in decreasing order.
A
initiation-elongation-termination
B
initiation-termination-elongation
C
termination-initiation-elongation
D
termination-elongation-initiation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The major steps of transcription are initiation, promoter clearance, elongation, and termination.

Detailed explanation-2: -Terminating transcription is a highly intricate process for mammalian protein-coding genes. First, the chromatin template slows down transcription at the gene end. Then, the transcript is cleaved at the poly(A) signal to release the messenger RNA. The remaining transcript is selectively unraveled and degraded.
