    • Assertion (A) : During protein synthesis, peptide bond formation is a dehydration reaction.
    • Reason (R) : Peptide bond formation is done by sharing of electrons between a carboxyl carbon of one amino acid and an amino nitrogen of another amino acid.
      1. Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
      2. Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A
      3. A is true but R is false
      4. A is false but R is true
    • Assertion (A) : In citric acid cycle, when succinate is oxidised to fumarate, a molecule of carbon dioxide is lost.
    • Reason (R) : When succinate is oxidised to fumarate, electrons and protons are passed to FAD reducing it to FADH2.
      1. Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
      2. Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A
      3. A is true but R is false
      4. A is false but R is true
    • Assertion (A) : Before the origin of life, the atmosphere on earth was reducing in nature.
    • Reason (R) : There was a great deal of volcanic activity at that time.
      1. Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
      2. Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A
      3. A is true but R is false
      4. A is false but R is true
    • Assertion (A) : RNA polymerases can synthesize RNA molecules from DNA template in both 5 − 3 ‘and 3 − 5’ directions.
    • Reason (R) : RNA polymerases can slide in either direction along a DNA template.
      1. Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
      2. Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A

    • Assertion (A) : In Sycon (Scypha) , only self-fertilization occurs.
    • Reason (R) : In Sycon, special sex organs are lacking.
      1. Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
      2. Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A
      3. A is true but R is false
      4. A is false but R is true
    • Assertion (A) : In prokaryotes, the translation begins on mRNA before transcription is completed.
    • Reason (R) : The triplet codons in prokaryotic mRNA are transcribed from the sense strand of DNA and subsequently are translated continuously from 3-OH end to the 5-PO4 end.
      1. Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
      2. Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A
      3. A is true but R is false
      4. A is false but R is true
