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

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

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

2 / 10

3 / 10

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:

Assertion: A failure in cell division results into polyploidy.

Reason: Polyploidy is a chromosomal anomaly.

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

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

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

4 / 10

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:

Assertion: A piece of DNA if propagated through recombinant DNA procedures requires a vector.

Reason: Vector provides origin of replication.

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

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

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

5 / 10

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:

Assertion: Both the strands of DNA are not copied during process of transcription.

Reason: The two molecules of RNA complementary to each other form the double stranded RNA and this would prevent RNA from being translated into protein.

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

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

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

6 / 10

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:

Assertion: Gene in eukaryote are said to be split.

Reason: Exons (coding sequences) and introns (intervening sequences) form the gene.

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

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

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

7 / 10

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:

Assertion: UTRs are present at both 5’ end and 3’end in mRNA.

Reason: UTRs are required for efficient translation process.

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

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

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

8 / 10

Reason: Digestion with DNase inhibits transformation.

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

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

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false
