| 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): | In transcription, only a segment of DNA and only one of the strands is copied into RNA. |
| 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. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Assertion (A): | When Griffith injected a mixture of heat-killed S and live R bacteria, the mice died. |
| Reason (R): | Mice infected with the S strain (virulent) die from pneumonia infection but mice infected with the R strain do not develop pneumonia. |
| 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. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| I: | It is semi-conservative. |
| II: | It is semi-discontinuous. |
The RNA polymerase I does not transcribe:
| 1. | 28S rRNA | 2. | 18S rRNA |
| 3. | 5.8S rRNA | 4. | 5S rRNA |
| 1. | all the time |
| 2. | only when lactose is present |
| 3. | only when lactose is absent |
| 4. | only when glucose is present in high amount |
Consider the two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Transcription and translation can be coupled in bacteria. |
| Reason (R): | The peptide bond formation in prokaryotes is catalysed by a ribozyme. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
| 2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 1. | at the 3' end, downstream of the structural gene |
| 2. | at the 3' end, upstream of the structural gene |
| 3. | at the 5' end, upstream of the structural gene |
| 4. | at the 5' end, downstream of the structural gene |
The ribozyme that catalyses peptide bond formation in prokaryotes is a part of:
| 1. | the larger subunit of the bacterial ribosome |
| 2. | the smaller subunit of the bacterial ribosome |
| 3. | the 5’ UTR of the mRNA |
| 4. | the 3’ UTR of the mRNA |
