Assertion Non-sense codons are responsible for terminating peptide chain
Reason Non-sense codons are not recognised by tRNA

A

Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

C

Assertion is true, but the Reason is false

D

Assertion is false, but the Reason are false

Text Solution
