Q. No.Consider the two statements:
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.

2. Statement I is correct, Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect, Statement II is correct

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
| 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). |

| 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). |
