Assertion : Clones are a group of organisms of identical genotype, produced by a single parent through asexual means.
Reason : Clones exhibit high genetic variations.

C.
If assertion is true but reason is false
A clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it. Plants that are able to propagate by asexual means produce genetically identical plants that are clones. Many unicellular organisms, such as bacteria and yeasts, are clones of parent cells generated by either binary fission or budding. The body cells of plants and animals are clones ultimately derived from the mitosis (cell reproduction) of a single fertilized egg. More narrowly, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it.
Assertion : Plasmids are double stranded extrachromosomal DNA.
Reason : Plasmids are possessed by eukaryotic cells.

Which organism was used by Beadle and Tatum to proposed one gene-one enzyme hypothesis ?
E. coli
Nostoc
Drosophila
Neurospora
Mutations which alter nucleotide sequence within a gene are :
frame shift mutations
base pair substitutions
both 'a' and 'b'
none of these
A point mutation comprising the substitution of a purine by pyrimidine is called
transition
translocation
deletion
transversion
