Assertion : Comparative biochemistry provides a strong evidence in favour of common ancestry of living beings.
Reason : Genetic code is universal
If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion
If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
If Assertion is true but Reason is false
If both Assertion and Reason are false
B.
If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
Convincing evidence of common ancestry comes from the similarities in the biochemical composition, reactions and physiological activities of living beings, like metabolic process, enzymes. cytochrome C, insulin, haemoglobin, blood and lymph etc.
Genetic code is the sequence of DNA nucleotides that determines the amino acid sequence of the translated protein. It is read in triplets of bases called codons. It is applicable universally i.e. a codon specifies the same amino acid from a virus to a tree or human beings. The mRNA from chick oviduct introduced in E.coli produces an ovalbumen in the bacterium exactly similar to one formed in chick.
If the Bengal Tiger becomes extinct
hyenas and wolves will become scars
the wild areas will be safe for man and domestic animals
its gene pool will be lost forever
the populations of beautiful animals like deers will get stabilized.
DNA is present in
chromosomes and dictyosomes
chloroplasts and lysosomes
mitochondria and chloroplasts
mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.
Potato and sweet potato
have edible parts which are homologous organs
have edible parts which are analogous organs
have been introduced in India from the same place
are two species of the same genus.
Assertion : Human ancestors never used their tails and so the tail expressing gene has disappeared in them.
Reason : Lamarck's theory of evolution is popularly called theory continuity of germ plasm.

Assertion : Darwin's finches show a variety of beaks suited for eating large seeds, flying insects and cactus seeds.
Reason : Ancestral seed-eating stock of Darwin's finches radiated out from South American mainland to different geographical areas of the Galapagos Islands, where they found competitorfree new habitats.
