The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate the given Assertion (A) and Reason (R) statements: **Assertion (A):** Amber codon is a termination codon. **Reason (R):** If in an mRNA, a termination codon is present, the protein synthesis stops abruptly whether the protein synthesis is complete or not. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A):** - The amber codon is represented by the sequence UAG in mRNA. - It is classified as a termination codon (or stop codon) because it signals the end of protein synthesis. - Therefore, Assertion (A) is **True**. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R):** - The Reason states that the presence of a termination codon in mRNA causes protein synthesis to stop abruptly, regardless of whether the protein is fully synthesized. - This is accurate; when a ribosome encounters a stop codon, it releases the polypeptide chain and halts translation. - Therefore, Reason (R) is also **True**. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship Between A and R:** - While both statements are true, the Reason does not provide a correct explanation for the Assertion. - The Assertion identifies the amber codon as a termination codon, while the Reason explains the general function of termination codons without specifically addressing the nature of the amber codon. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since both A and R are true, but R is not a correct explanation of A, the correct answer is: **Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.** ### Final Answer: - The answer is: **Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.**

Assertion: Amber codon is a terminating codon. Reason: If in a mRNA, a termination codon is present, the protein synthesis stops abruptly whether the protein synthesis is complete or not.

Consider the following statements and choose the correct option :- (a) Six codons do not code for any amino-acid. (b) Codon is read in m-RNA in a contiguous fashion. (c) Three codons function as stop codons. (d) In eukaryotes the initiator codon AUG codes for methionine.

Consider the following sequence on m-RNA AUGGCAGUGCCA. Assuming that genetic code is overlap then how many number of codon may be present on this genetic code

Consider the following nucleic acids 1. DNA, 2. r-RNA, 3. t-RNA, 4. m-RNA choose the correct sequence of their arrangement according to their participation in protein synthesis

Consider the following statements. I. rRNA provides the template for synthesis of proteins. II. tRNA brings amino acids and reads the genetic code. III. RNA polymerase binds to promoter and initiates transcription. IV. A segment of DNA coding for polypeptide is called intron.

Assertion: The first codon discovered by Nirenberg and Matthaei was UUU. Reason: Genetic code translates the language of protein into that of RNA.

Assertion (A) : Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Reason (R ) : m-RNA is transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm where ribosomes and amino acids are available for protein synthesis.

A person in a lift is holding a water jar, which has a small hole at the lower end its side. When the lift is at rest, the water jet coming out of the hole hits the floor of the lift at a distance d of 1.2 m from the person. In the following, state of the lift’s motion is given in Column I and the distance where the water jet hits the floor of the lift is given in Column II. Match the statements from list I with those in list II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists.
