Consider the given statements:
I: DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid – is the genetic material, at least for the majority of organisms. 
II: RNA though it also acts as a genetic material in some viruses, mostly functions as a messenger.
III. RNA can function as an adapter, structural, and in some cases as a catalytic molecule. 
 
1. Only I and II are correct 2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct 4. I, II, and III are correct

The diagram shows the DNA double helix. What will be true for the helix?
  
 
I. A represents a base pair where the plane of one base pair stacks over the other in the double helix giving the helix more stability in addition to hydrogen bonds.
II. There are 10 base pairs in one complete turn of B-dNA.
III. B is the backbone constituted by sugar-phosphate.
IV. The two strands are parallel-oriented in the same direction with respect to each other.
V: The diameter is uniform, around 2.0nm.
 
1. Only I, II, and III 2. Only II, III, IV, and V
3. Only I, II, III, and V  4. I, II, III, IV and V

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The distance between the two strands of the DNA helix is approximately uniform.
Reason (R): Base pairing is complementary, where a purine always base pairs with a pyrimidine and a pyrimidine always base pairs with a purine.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
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.
