Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In transcription, the strand that does not code for anything is referred to as the coding strand.
Reason (R): It is the presence of the promoter in a transcription unit that defines the template and coding strands.
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. Both (A) and (R) are false.
4. (A) is true but (R) is false.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Transcription and translation can be coupled in bacteria.
Reason (R): In bacteria, the mRNA does not require any processing to become active, and also transcription and translation take place in the same compartment. 
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are False.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. (A) is True but (R) is False.

The figure shows the process of transcription in eukaryotes. Identify the incorrect statements regarding the process:
 
Statement I: ‘A’ is capping where an unusual nucleotide (methyl guanosine triphosphate) is added to the 5'-end of hnRNA.
Statement II: ‘B’ is polyadenylation where 20-30 adenylate residues are added at the 3’ end in a template-dependent manner.
Statement III: “C” constitute the sequences of the split gene that do not appear in mature or processed RNA.
Statement IV:   The presence of D in the eukaryotic split gene is reminiscent of antiquity.
Statement IV: ‘E’ is called as RNA splicing.

1. Only Statement I and Statement III
2. Only Statement II and Statement III
3. Only Statement II and Statement IV
4. Only Statement I and Statement IV

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): An adapter molecule, that on one hand can read the genetic code and on the other hand can bind to specific amino acids, is required for the translation of proteins.
Reason (R): Amino acids have no structural specialties to read the code uniquely.
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.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Although gene expression in eukaryotes can take place at multiple levels. The most common level of gene expression would be:
 
1.  transcriptional level (formation of the primary transcript)
2. processing level (regulation of splicing)
3. transport of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
4. translational level
