A

If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion & Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is True but the Reason is False.

D

If both Assertion & Reason are false.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason statements provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "TAC is the anticodon of AUG codon." - The codon AUG is found on mRNA and codes for the amino acid Methionine. - The anticodon is found on tRNA and must be complementary to the codon on the mRNA. ### Step 2: Determine the Complementary Anticodon To find the correct anticodon for the AUG codon: - The codon AUG consists of the bases A (Adenine), U (Uracil), and G (Guanine). - The complementary bases are: - A pairs with U - U pairs with A - G pairs with C - Therefore, the complementary anticodon for AUG would be UAC, not TAC. ### Step 3: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Codon and anticodon are non-complementary to each other." - This statement is incorrect because codons and anticodons must be complementary to ensure proper pairing during protein synthesis. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect: - The assertion is incorrect because TAC is not the anticodon for AUG; it is UAC. - The reason is incorrect because codons and anticodons are complementary to each other. Thus, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ---

    Which of these statements about protein synthesis are NOT correct ? I. During transcription, mRNA synthesized from DNA nucleotides to have the same sequence of nucleotides as the DNA strand on which it was made. II. During transcription , tRNA is synthesized from RNA nucleotides and carries codons that are complementary to the sequence of nucleotides on the DNA strand on which it was made. III. During translation, mRNA is synthesized from RNA nucleotides to have the complementary sequence of nucleotides to that. Of the DNA strand on which it was made . IV. During translation ribosomes move on mRNA from '5' and '3' one codon at a time .This is called translocation

    The non-sense codons are

    Assertion (A): Centripetal force does no work . Reason (R) : Force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

    Assertion: The two strands in double strand helix structure of DNA are complementary to each other Reason: Disulphide bonds are formed between SQPecific pairs of bases

    Select the incorrect statement about tRNA. (a) tRNA possess an amino acid acceptor at 3' end for binding of amino acids. (b) tRNA is also called soluble RNA. (c) Only single tRNA exists for all 3 stop condons (d) tRNA posses an anticodon loop that has bases complementary to the code.

    Mention two functions of the codon AUG.
