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 |
Assertion (A): | Viruses having RNA genome and having shorter life span mutate and evolve faster. |
Reason (R): | RNA being unstable, mutates at a faster rate. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
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. |

I: | There is a single DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that catalyzes the transcription of all types of RNA. |
II: | RNA polymerase associates transiently with initiation-factor (σ) and termination-factor (ρ) to initiate and terminate the transcription, respectively. |
I: | There are at least three RNA polymerases in the nucleus (in addition to the RNA polymerase found in the organelles). |
II: | hnRNA undergoes modification to produce mature RNA. |
I: | The codon is triplet. |
II: | 61 codons code for amino acids and 3 codons do not code for any amino acids. |
III: | The code is degenerate. |
IV: | There are punctuations when reading the code. |
V: | The code is nearly universal. |
VI: | AUG has dual functions. |
a. | tRNA has an anticodon loop that has bases complementary to the code. |
b. | tRNA has an amino acid acceptor end at the 5’ end to which it binds to amino acids. |
c. | tRNAs are specific for each amino acid. |
d. | There are no tRNAs for stop codons. |
