Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): RNA was the first genetic material.
Reason (R): RNA can act as the template for the synthesis of DNA and has catalytic functions as well.
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 false.

Consider the two statements:
 
Statement I: There is now enough evidence to suggest that essential life processes (such as metabolism, translation, splicing, etc.), evolved around RNA. 
Statement II: DNA being double-stranded and having complementary strands further resists changes by evolving a process of repair.

1. Statement I is correct, Statement II is correct 
2. Statement I is correct, Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect, Statement II is correct
4. Statement I is incorrect, Statement II is incorrect

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Deoxyribonulceoside triphosphates provide energy for polymerization reactions during the replication of DNA.
Reason (R): The two terminal phosphates in a deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate are high-energy phosphates, the same as in the case of ATP.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. (A) is true but (R) is false.
2. Both (A) and (R) are false.
3. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): For long DNA molecules, the replication occurs within a small opening of the DNA helix, referred to as the replication fork.
Reason (R): The DNA polymerases on their own cannot initiate the process of replication.
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).
