Assertion: An organism with lethal mutation may not even develop beyond the zygote stage.

Reason: All types of gene mutations are lethal.

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

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

• If assertion is true but reason is false

• If both assertion and reason are false.

Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched with regard to the codon and the amino acid coded by it

• UUA - valine

• AUG - cysteine

• AAA - lysine

• CCC - alanine

Assertion : Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm.

Reason : mRNA is transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm where ribosomes and amino acids are available for protein synthesis.

• 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
