Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A):   It is necessary to define the boundaries that would demarcate the region and the strand of DNA that would be transcribed.
Reason (R):  In transcription, only a segment of DNA and only one of the strands is copied into RNA.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A):  When Griffith injected a mixture of heat-killed S and live R bacteria, the mice died.
Reason (R): Mice infected with the S strain (virulent) die from pneumonia infection but mice infected with the R strain do not develop pneumonia.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
