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. |
1. | the secondary structure of tRNA. |
2. | the actual structure of tRNA. |
3. | the assembly of tRNAs at the larger subunit of ribosomes |
4. | motifs formed by unusual bases in tRNA. |
1. | are present at both 5'-end (before start codon) and at 3'-end (after stop codon). |
2. | are present only at 5'-end (before start codon). |
3. | are present only at 3'-end (after stop codon). |
4. | are absent but are present in hnRNA. |
