Statement I: | rRNA has a structural role in living organisms. |
Statement II: | rRNA acts as the adapter molecule during the flow of genetic information in a cell. |
Assertion (A): | Only one of the two DNA strands serves as a template for transcription. |
Reason (R): | The other strand is called the coding strand. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False, (R) is False |

Consider the following two statements:
Griffith discovered
A: DNA, and not protein, is the genetic material.
B: The process of bacterial transformation.
1. Only A is correct.
2. Only B is correct.
3. Both A and B are correct.
4. Neither A nor B are correct.
Consider the following two statements:
A: | The genetic code is degenerate. |
B: | The genetic code is ambiguous. |
1. Only A is correct.
A: | DNA is capable of making its own replica, while RNA cannot make its own replica. |
B: | DNA is structurally more stable and chemically more inert than RNA. |
