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. |

Statement I: | A shows the hydrogen bonds where a triple bond links Guanine and Cytosine and a double bond links Adenine and Thymine. |
Statement II: | If Adenine in such a dsDNA molecule is found to be 20 %, the amount of Cytosine in this ds DNA molecule is expected to be 20 %. |

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. |

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. |
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). |

I: | If the sequence of bases in one strand of a double-stranded DNA is known, then the sequence in other strands can be predicted. |
II: | If each strand from a DNA acts as a template for the synthesis of a new strand, the two double-stranded DNA thus, produced would be identical to the parental DNA molecule. |
1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |

Statement I: | A is ‘replication’ where DNA is replicated in a semi-conservative manner. |
Statement II: | B is ‘transcription’ and is so called because the language of RNA is only a slight variant of the language of the DNA. |
Statement III: | C is ‘translation’ and is so called because the language of Protein is entirely different from the language of RNA. |
