Assertion (A): Any fragment of DNA, when linked to the ori region, can be initiated to replicate. Reason (R) : Ori is a genetic sequence that acts as the initiation site for replication of DNA.

A

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

B

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).

C

Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

D

Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The process of DNA replication begins at the ori sequence. The presence of ori in a DNA fragment makes it a self-replicating molecule.
