Assertion A single-strand of mRNA is capable of forming different polypeptide chains Reason Termination codons occur in mRNA

Assertion. A single mRNA strand is capable of forming a number of different polypeptide chains. Reason. The mRNA strand has terminator codons.

Genetic code is non-overlapping. No single base take part in the formation of more than one codon.

Assertion (A): Some codons act as terminating or stop codons. Reason ( R): 3 codons do not code for any amino acids.

In genetic code , the codon is read in mRNA in a contiguous fashion because

Assertion : tRNA recognises its corresponding codon in mRNA. Reason : For each codon, there is an individual tRNA.

Assertion : The tRNA molecules posses anticondons. Reason It needs the message in form of codon.

Assertion : Untranslated regions are sequences of RNA before initiation codon and after termination codon. Reason : Untranslated regions provide stability to mRNA and also increase translational efficiency.

Assertion Reading codons and consequent translation into protein are functions of tRNA Reason Anticodon can recognise the codon
