All genes are transcribed from the same strand of DNA in a chromosome.Group of answer choicesFalseTrue

Analysis of the Statement

1. Understanding Gene Transcription:

   • Gene transcription is the process through which a segment of DNA is copied into RNA, particularly messenger RNA (mRNA) for protein synthesis.
   • Each gene can be located on either strand of the double-stranded DNA molecule, meaning not all genes will be transcribed from the same DNA strand.

2. Directionality of Strands:

   • DNA has two strands: the coding strand (which has the same sequence as the RNA transcript, except for thymine which is replaced by uracil) and the template strand (which is used as a template for transcription).
   • Genes can be transcribed from either strand, depending on their location and orientation on the chromosome.

Conclusion

Given that genes can be transcribed from both strands of DNA in a chromosome, the statement "All genes are transcribed from the same strand of DNA in a chromosome" is False.
