NEET Biology Principle Of Inheritance And Variation Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion : In prokaryotes, there are three initiation factors used for protein synthesis. Reason : All the initiation factors have their own functions.

    A) If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

    B) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion 

    C) If the assertion is true but the reason is false

    D) If both the assertion and reason are false

    E) If the assertion is false but reason is true

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In prokaryotes, three initiation factors are present -\[I{{F}_{1}}\], \[I{{F}_{2}}\], \[I{{F}_{3}}\]. All three factors are essential for initiation when natural mRNA are used as templates. IF3 binds to the 30 S ribosomal subunit and is required for its binding to the mRNA starting site. \[I{{F}_{3}}\] also functions as a ribosome dissociation factors. IF2 binds the initiator f Met- tRNA and carries it to the ribosome (together with GTP) in response to the first AUG codon. \[I{{F}_{1}}\] participates in the interaction between \[I{{F}_{2}}\] and the initiator tRNA.
