All the following can be logical conclusions of Griffith experiment except:
| 1. | The R strain bacteria had somehow been transformed by the heat-killed S strain bacteria. |
| 2. | Some ‘transforming principle’, transferred from the heat-killed S strain, had enabled the R strain to synthesise a smooth polysaccharide coat and become virulent. |
| 3. | The transformation must be due to the transfer of the genetic material. |
| 4. | The biochemical nature of genetic material must be the protein |

A molecule that can act as a genetic material should be able to generate its replica (Replication). Therefore:
| I: | Both the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) can act as the genetic material. |
| II: | Proteins cannot act as the genetic material. |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |

Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl , in1958, demonstrated that DNA replication produces two daughter DNA molecules each composed of:
1. two old strands
2. two new strands
3. one old and one new strand
4. two strands with variable proportion of new and old DNA

Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion: | On one strand (the template with polarity 3'→5'), the replication is continuous, while on the other (the template with polarity 5'→3'), it is discontinuous. |
| Reason: | The DNA-dependent DNA polymerases catalyse polymerisation only in one direction, that is 3'→5'. |
| 1. | Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion. |
| 2. | Assertion is true but Reason is False. |
| 3. | Assertion is false but Reason is True. |
| 4. | Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason correctly explains the Assertion. |

2. has the sequence same as RNA (except uracil at the place of thymine)
3. is displaced during transcription
4. codes for the transcript formed
