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.

For M^(2+)//M and M^(3+)//M^(2+) systems the E_0 values for some metals are as follows: {:(Cr^(2+)//Cr,-0.9 V, Cr^3//Cr^(2+),-0.4V),(Mn^(2+)//Mn, -1.2 V, Mn^(3+)//Mn, +1.5V),(Fe^(2+)//Fe, -0.4V. Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+),+0.8V):} Use this data to comment upon : (i) The stability of Fe^(3+ ) in acid solution as compared to that of Cr^(3+) or MnO^(3+) , and (ii) The case with which iron can be oxidised as compared to similar process for either chromium or manganese metal.

The bones of forelimbs of whale, bat, cheetah and man are similar in structure, because :

Define the terms a) Transcription b) Translation

Give reasons for (i) Both strands of DNA are not copied during transcription. (ii) Transcription and translation in bacteria can be coupled.

[A]: Chromatid is one of a pair of replicated chromosomes found during the prophase and metaphase stages of mitosis and meio- sis. [R]: Chromatin is classified as euchromatin or heterochromatin on the basis of stain-ing properties. Euchromatin is thqught to be ac- tively involved in transcription and, therefore, protein synthesis, while heterochromatin is inactive.
