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). |
2. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (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. |
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): | The primary transcript in eukaryotes is subjected to a process called splicing. |
Reason (R): | The process of splicing represents the dominance of RNA-world. |
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. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
Assertion (A): | Errors in the third position of the triplet codon usually cause only a silent mutation or an error that would not affect the protein. |
Reason (R) | The genetic code is a triplet code. |
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): | There has to be a mechanism to read the genetic code and also to link it to the amino acids. |
Reason (R): | The rRNA acts as an adapter molecule between transcription and translation in the central dogma of molecular biology. |
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. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
Assertion (A): | In the first phase of translation itself, amino acids are activated in the presence of ATP. |
Reason (R): | If two such charged tRNAs are brought close enough, the formation of peptide bond between them would be favoured energetically. |
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. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
Assertion (A): | In prokaryotes, control of the rate of translational initiation is the predominant site for control of gene expression. |
Reason (R): | In prokaryotes, it is the metabolic, physiological or environmental conditions that regulate the expression of genes. |
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): | The accessibility of promoter regions of prokaryotic DNA is in many cases regulated by the interaction of proteins with sequences termed operators. |
Reason (R): | Each operon has its specific operator. |
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. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
