Assertion: In capping, methyl guanosine triphosphate is added to the 3'-end of hnRNA. Reason: In tailing, adenylate residues are added at 5'-end in a template independent manner.
Direction: In the following question there are two statements, Assertion (A) and Reason (R), consider both the statements independently and mark your answers as under:
1. A and R both are correct and R is correct explanation of A.
2. A and R both are correct and R is not correct explanation of A.
3. A is correct and R is incorrect.
4. A is incorrect and R is correct.
5. A and R both are incorrect.
