Assertion (A): | Retroviruses are one known exception to the central dogma in molecular biology as proposed by Francis Crick. |
Reason (R): | In retroviruses a sequence of nucleotides is copied from an RNA template during the synthesis of a molecule of DNA. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
The difference between ATP and the nucleoside triphosphates used during DNA synthesis is that:
1. | The nucleoside triphosphates have the sugar deoxyribose; ATP has the sugar ribose. |
2. | The nucleoside triphosphates have two phosphate groups; ATP has three phosphate groups. |
3. | ATP contains three high-energy bonds; the nucleoside triphosphates have two. |
4. | ATP is found only in human cells; the nucleoside triphosphates are found in all animal and plant cells. |
