The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that the sequence of bases in DNA is TGAACCCTT and the sequence of bases in mRNA is CATTAAACC. 1. **Identify the DNA Sequence**: TGAACCCTT 2. **Determine the Complementary DNA Sequence**: - T (Thymine) pairs with A (Adenine) - G (Guanine) pairs with C (Cytosine) - A (Adenine) pairs with T (Thymine) - C (Cytosine) pairs with G (Guanine) Therefore, the complementary DNA strand for TGAACCCTT would be: - A (from T) - C (from G) - T (from A) - G (from C) - TT (from CC) - AA (from TT) Thus, the complementary DNA sequence is ACTTGGAA. 3. **Transcribe to mRNA**: - Replace T with U (Uracil) when transcribing to mRNA. - So, the mRNA sequence derived from the complementary DNA strand ACTTGGAA would be: - A (Adenine) - C (Cytosine) - U (Uracil) - G (Guanine) - G (Guanine) - A (Adenine) - A (Adenine) Hence, the mRNA sequence is ACUGGUAA. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that in DNA, nitrogenous bases have hydrogen bonds. 1. **Understanding Hydrogen Bonds**: - In DNA, the nitrogenous bases (A, T, C, G) are held together by hydrogen bonds. - A pairs with T through 2 hydrogen bonds, and C pairs with G through 3 hydrogen bonds. ### Step 3: Conclusion - The assertion is incorrect because the mRNA sequence provided (CATTAAACC) does not match the expected transcription from the complementary DNA strand. - The reason is correct; however, it does not support the assertion since the assertion is false. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are false. ---
