Properties of Genetic Material
BIOXII06: MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

342913 A molecule that can act as a genetic material must fulfill the traits given below, except :-

1 It should be unstable structurally and chemically
2 It should provide the scope for slow changes that are required for evolution
3 It should be able to express itself in the form of 'Mendelian characters'
4 It should be able to generate its replica
BIOXII06: MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

342914 Assertion :
DNA is a better genetic material.
Reason :
DNA chemically is less reactive and structurally more stable when compared to RNA.

1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
BIOXII06: MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

342915 RNA can easily express the character because

1 It has 2'-OH group at every nucleotide in its deoxyribose sugar
2 It has uracil
3 it can directly code for the synthesis of protein
4 All of the above

342916 RNA though is distributed throughout the cell, it is most commonly in these structures

1 Mitochondria
2 Nucleus
3 Ribosomes
4 Choroplast
