Reason (R): | DNA is dependent on RNA for synthesis of proteins. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
2. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |

Assertion (A): | Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates provide energy for polymerisation reaction during DNA replication. |
Reason (R): | Energetically replication of DNA is a very expensive process. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Assertion (A): | On one strand, the template with polarity 3' - 5', the DNA replication is discontinuous, while on the other, the template with polarity 5' -3', it is continuous. |
Reason (R): | The DNA-dependent DNA polymerases catalyse polymerisation only in one direction that is, 5' - 3'. |

3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
Assertion (A): | If both strands of DNA act as a template, they would code for RNA molecule with different sequences. |
Reason (R): | Complementarity does not mean identical. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
Assertion (A): | It is the presence of a promoter in a transcription unit that also defines the template and coding strands. |
Reason (R): | The promoter is said to be located towards 5'-end (upstream) of the structural gene (the reference is made with respect to the polarity of coding strand). |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |

Assertion (A): | Transcription and translation can be coupled in bacteria. |
Reason (R): | In bacteria, mRNA does not require any processing to become active, and transcription and translation take place in the same compartment. |
