- Assertion (A): Myoglobin bears an ironcontaining heme group capable of combining reversibly with oxygen.
- Reason (R): Myoglobin is made up of a monomeric polypeptide chain without a tertiary structure.
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): On the yearly basis, the net community production in a mature rain forest tends to be very low or none.
- Reason (R): In steady-state communities the gross primary production tends to be totally dissipated by the combined autotrophic and heterotrophic respirations.
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): Ethylene oxide has been used as an insecticide.
- Reason (R): Ethylene oxide is an anticholinesterase.
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): Mental and motor retardation and death by ages 2 − 4 years are phenotypic effects in the individuals of Tay-Sachs disease.
- Reason (R): In the individuals of Tay-Sachs disease galactose-I-phosphate uridyl transferase fails to catalyze transformation of galactose into glucose.
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
