Assertion (A): Pre messenger RNA (pre-m-RNA) must be modified before translation. Reason (R): Pre-m-RNA contains the non-coding sequences (intron) within the coding region.
Directions: 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. If A and R both are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. If A and R both are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. If A is correct and R is incorrect.
4. If A is incorrect and R is correct.
5. If A and R both are incorrect.
Assertion (A): DNA shows hypochromicity on heating. Reason (R): Heat denaturation of DNA causes the double helix structure to unwind to form single-stranded DNA.
Directions: 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. If A and R both are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. If A and R both are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.
