Identify the correct statements from the given statements and choose the correct option:

I: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic mRNAs have a 5' cap.
II: Only prokaryotic mRNAs are polyadenylated at the 3' end.
III: In prokaryotes, transcription is coupled to translation.
IV: In eukaryotes, RNA splicing occurs after the mRNA is transported into the cytoplasm.
V: RNA splicing requires the formation of a spliceosome.
VI: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic mRNAs are synthesized by RNA polymerase.

1. III, V, and VI only
2. II, III, V, and VI only
3. I, III, V, and VI only

The correct chronological order of the steps of translation of a prokaryotic mRNA will be:

I:  attachment of the initiator tRNA onto the start codon
II:  binding of the mRNA to small ribosome subunit of a ribosome
III:  attachment of the large ribosome subunit to the mRNA
IV:  translocation of the ribosome to move a new codon to be in the A site
V:  entry of a charged tRNA into the A site
 
1. I II V III IV
2. II I III V IV
3. I II III V IV
4. II I IV III V

Assertion (A): tRNA is the adapter molecule in the flow of genetic information in a typical cell.
Reason (R): tRNA has some unusual bases present in the sequence of its nucleotides.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A)
3. (A) is True, (R) is False
4. (A) is False, (R) is True
