What argument will be most potent to discard proteins as possible molecules for genetic information storage in humans?
| 1. | They have very limited diversity |
| 2. | They are not macromolecules |
| 3. | They do not replicate |
| 4. | They are unstable biomolecules |
| 1. | is present only when glucose levels are very low |
| 2. | is present only when lactose is freely available |
| 3. | is present in a low amount all the time |
| 4. | is not required for using lactose as a source of energy by the cell |
| Assertion (A): | Today, DNA from a single cell is enough to perform DNA fingerprinting analysis. |
| Reason (R): | The use of PCR has increased the sensitivity of DNA fingerprinting. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 2. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 3. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
| 1. | They are polynucleotides. |
| 2. | Together with polysaccharides and polypeptides, these comprise the true macromolecular fraction of any living tissue or cell. |
| 3. | A nucleotide has three chemically distinct components: a heterocyclic compound, a monosaccharide, and a phosphoric acid or a phosphate. |
| 4. | The hexose sugar found in polynucleotides is either ribose or 2’deoxyribose. |
