• M. Nirenberg

• H.G. Khorana

• F.H.C. Crick

Assertion : Plasmids are double stranded extrachromosomal DNA.

Reason : Plasmids are possessed by eukaryotic cells.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both the assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

• adenine

• thiamine

• guanine

The chemical knifes of DNA are

• polymerases

• ligases

• endonucleases

• amylases

Assertion : The mRNA attaches itself to the ribosome via its 3' end.

Reason : The mRNA has F-capsular nucleotide and bases of lagging sequence.

• If both the assertion and reason are false.

Assertion : Clones are a group of organisms of identical genotype, produced by a single parent through asexual means.

Reason : Clones exhibit high genetic variations.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• mitochondria and are inherited by male

Assertion : Watson and Crick provided experimental proof of semiconservative nature of DNA replication.

Reason : DNA polymerase binds nucleotides in replication.
