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).
4. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Consider the following statements:

I. Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates act as substrates as well as provide energy for polymerization reaction during DNA replication.
II. The replication of DNA is both semiconservative and semi-discontinuous
III. In bacterial DNA replication, there are multiple ori and replication fork moving bi-directionally

Which of the above statements are true?

1. I and II only 2. I and III only
3. II and III only 4. I, II, and III

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). 
3. Both (A) and (R) are False.
4. (A) is True but (R) is False.
