Which two of the following statements about transcription are FALSE? Usually, only one strand of any given gene is transcribed. All genes on the same chromosome are transcribed in the same direction. Several transcripts can be elongated simultaneously from a single gene. The direction of transcription is determined by the promoter sequence. Transcripts always begin with the same nucleotide base. Genes transcribed in opposite directions use the different strands as templates.

Which of these is not true about transcription? Not every RNA transcript is translated into protein. Multiple DNA polymerases can transcribe the same gene at once. The primary mRNA transcript is processed by splicing out the introns before export. The base uracil is necessary to make the new RNA molecule.

Which statements are true? Explain why or why not. The consequences of errors in transcription are less severe than those of errors in DNA replication.
