Statement I: | There is now enough evidence to suggest that essential life processes (such as metabolism, translation, splicing, etc.), evolved around RNA. |
Statement II: | DNA being double-stranded and having complementary strands further resists changes by evolving a process of repair. |
1. | Watson and Crick's model for semi-conservative DNA replication |
2. | Temin and Baltimore model for reverse transcription |
3. | Transcription of rRNA and tRNA on the template of DNA |
4. | Transcription of mRNA and hnRNA on the template of DNA |
I: | The result at the end of 20 minutes excludes the ‘conservative’ mode of DNA replication. |
II: | The result at the end of 40 minutes excludes the ‘dispersive’ mode of DNA replication. |
Assertion (A): | Deoxyribonulceoside triphosphates provide energy for polymerization reactions during the replication of DNA. |
Reason (R): | The two terminal phosphates in a deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate are high-energy phosphates, the same as in the case of ATP. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
Assertion (A): | For long DNA molecules, the replication occurs within a small opening of the DNA helix, referred to as the replication fork. |
Reason (R): | The DNA polymerases on their own cannot initiate the process of replication. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
4. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
Statement I: | A is an Okazaki fragment and such fragments make up the lagging strand which is replicated away from the replication fork. |
Statement II: | B is the leading strand that is continuously replicated towards the replication fork. |
Assertion (A): | A piece of DNA if needed to be propagated during recombinant DNA procedures requires a vector. |
Reason (R): | The vectors provide the origin of replication. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
4. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
Assertion (A): | The replication of DNA and cell division cycle should be highly coordinated. |
Reason (R): | In eukaryotes, the replication of DNA takes place at the S-phase of the cell cycle. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
4. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
Assertion (A): | It is necessary to define the boundaries that would demarcate the region and the strand of DNA that would be transcribed. |
Reason (R): | Reason: Both strands of DNA are not copied during transcription. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
Assertion (A): | Both the strands of DNA are not copied during transcription. |
Reason (R): | Both strands of DNA are identical in their base composition. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
