Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as
Assertion: Amber codon is a terminal codon. Reason: If in a mRNA, a termination coda is present, the protein synthesis stops abruptly whether the protein synthesis is complete or not.A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
B) If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanations of Assertion.
C) If Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
D) If both Assertion and Reason are false.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
UAA (Ochre), UAG (Amber) and UGA (Opal) are termination codons. If these codons are present in mRNA. The protein synthesis stops abruptly whether the protein synthesis is complete or not. AUG and GUG are called initiation codons because they initiate the polypeptide chain.
