Which of the following is NOT true of transcription / translation processes in both bacteria and eukaryotes? Select one: a. Translation of a polypeptide can occur before transcription of the mRNA is finished. b. Polypeptide chains are formed by linking amino acids according to the sequence encoded by the mRNA associated with a ribosome. c. RNA polymerase reads the template DNA strand to produce the complementary mRNA transcript. d. protein is encoded by the "genetic code", with amino acids specified by codons ("words" made of 3 bases).

Which of the following is FALSE regarding transcription? Select one: a. Transcription is the process in which mRNA transcripts are synthesized from DNA. b. Transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm in eukaryotes. c. Eukaryotic mRNA contains introns that must be removed before translation. d. Transcripts are not significantly modified in bacteria before translation begins.
