AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that VNTR (Variable Number Tandem Repeats) belongs to a class of satellite DNA referred to as mini-satellite. - **Explanation**: VNTRs are indeed a type of repetitive DNA that can be classified as mini-satellites. Mini-satellites are characterized by repeating sequences of DNA that can vary in number among individuals. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason given is that the mini-satellite numbers remain the same from chromosome to chromosome in an individual. - **Explanation**: This statement is incorrect. The number of mini-satellite repeats can vary between different chromosomes and also among different individuals. Therefore, mini-satellite numbers do not remain the same across chromosomes in an individual. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion is true because VNTRs are classified as mini-satellites. - The reason is false because mini-satellite numbers do not remain constant across chromosomes. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. **Final Answer**: Assertion is true, but the reason is false. ---

Assertion : When the DNA sequences of two people are cut using the same restriction enzyme, the length and number of fragments obtained are different for both. Reason : DNA sequence is arranged tandemly in many copy numbers which varies from chromosome to chromosome in an individual, showing high degree of polymorphism.

Assertion :- The DNA strand which does not code for nothing is referred to as coding stand. Reason : Coding strand sequence are same as RNA except thymine at the place of uracil.

Assertion :- The DNA strand which does not code for anything is referred to as coding strand. Reason :- Coding strand sequence are same as RNA and this strand contain uracil at the place of thymine.
