The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason statements about DNA and mRNA synthesis, we will break down the information step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states: "DNA code is copied in the synthesis of m-RNA." - This statement is true. During the process of transcription, the DNA sequence is used as a template to synthesize messenger RNA (mRNA). The enzyme RNA polymerase reads the DNA strand and synthesizes the mRNA strand complementary to the DNA template. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states: "tRNA moves out of the nucleus and after attaching on ribosomes form the template." - This statement is false. Transfer RNA (tRNA) does not move out of the nucleus to form a template. Instead, tRNA is involved in translation, where it brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. The template for protein synthesis is actually the mRNA, not tRNA. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Since the assertion (A) is true and the reason (R) is false, we conclude that the relationship between the two statements does not hold. The reason provided does not correctly explain the assertion. 4. **Final Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question is that assertion (A) is true, and reason (R) is false. ### Summary of the Answer: - Assertion (A) is true. - Reason (R) is false. - Therefore, the answer is: A is true, R is false.

Dna directed synthesis of m -RNA is called

The following features occur during protein synthesis: (i) Movement of m-RNA from the nucleus into the Cytoplasm, where it binds to the ribosomes (ii) Formation of amino acyl t-RNA complex (iii) Transcription of specific segments of DNA into m-RNA molecules in the nucleus (iv) Binding of N-terminal amino acid, methionine t-RNA to the 'P' site of the ribosome. The t-RNA anticodon "pairs with AUG on m-RNA" (v) Formation of peptide bond between first and second amino acids at the 'A' site (vi) Release of the completed polypeptide chain from ribosomes (vii) Migration of dipeptide to form a tripeptide and then a polypeptide The correct order of events is

The complementary copy of RNA synthesized from DNA template is

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.
