Both statement I and statement II are true.
The process of copying genetic information from one strand of DNA into RNA is termed transcription. During transcription, an RNA molecule is synthesized based on the DNA template strand.

A transcription unit in DNA is defined primarily by three regions: a promoter, the structural gene and a terminator. The promoter region is where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription. The structural gene is the DNA sequence that encodes the information for an RNA molecule. The terminator signals the end of transcription.
