Assertion : If each strand from a parental DNA acts as template for synthesis of a new strand, the two double stranded daughter DNA thus produced would be indentical to the parental DNA molecule.
Reason : The length of DNA double helix in a typical mammalian cell is calculate simply by multiplying the total number of bp with distance two consecutive bp.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer

B

Explanation

`**` If each strand from a parental DNA acts as template for synthesis of anew strand. The two double stranded daughter DNA thus produced would identical to the parental DNA molecule.
`**` The length of DNA double helix in a typical mammalian cell is calculated simple by multiplying the total number of lbp with distance between two consecutive bp.
