The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the process of transcription in eukaryotes, we will analyze each statement one by one and determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "The strand of dsDNA which takes part in transcription process is called as coding strand." - **Analysis**: In eukaryotic transcription, the strand of DNA that serves as the template for RNA synthesis is known as the template strand (or non-coding strand), while the other strand is referred to as the coding strand. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "The enzyme RNA polymerase can catalyse polymerisation only in one direction i.e., 5' to 3'." - **Analysis**: RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA by adding nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction. This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "An unusual nucleotide methyl guanosine triphosphate is added to the 5' end of hnRNA during capping." - **Analysis**: During the capping process, a modified guanosine triphosphate known as 7-methylguanylate (7mG) is added to the 5' end of the heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). Thus, this statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "During tailing process, adenylate residues (200-300) are added at 3' end in a template independent manner." - **Analysis**: The addition of a poly-A tail (adenylate residues) to the 3' end of the mRNA occurs in a template-independent manner, and typically consists of about 200-300 adenine nucleotides. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - Statement (i) is incorrect. - Statements (ii), (iii), and (iv) are correct. Thus, the correct answer is that statements (ii), (iii), and (iv) are true. ### Final Answer: **The correct statements regarding the process of transcription in eukaryotes are (ii), (iii), and (iv).** ---
