Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the correct sequence of steps for transcription in a Eukaryote?
A
Initiation, Elimination, and Termination
B
Elongation, Initiation, and Termination
C
DNA, RNA, and Polypeptide
D
Initiation, Elongation, and Termination
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transcription has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. In eukaryotes, RNA molecules must be processed after transcription: they are spliced and have a 5’ cap and poly-A tail put on their ends.

Detailed explanation-2: -The major steps of transcription are initiation, promoter clearance, elongation, and termination.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic transcription proceeds in three sequential stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. The RNAs transcribed serve diverse functions. For example, structural components of the ribosome are transcribed by RNA polymerase I.

Detailed explanation-4: -15.7: Eukaryotic Transcription-Elongation and Termination in Eukaryotes. Elongation synthesizes pre-mRNA in a 5′ to 3′ direction, and termination occurs in response to termination sequences and signals.
