Question : Assertion :tRNA recognises its corresponding codon in mRNA. Reason : For each codon, there is an individual tRNA.

Answer»

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct EXPLANATION of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true butreason is notthe correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
if both assertion and reason are false.

Solution :(c) : tRNA has an ANTICODON loop which has 7 bases, out of which three bases form anticodon for recognising and attching to the codon of mRNA . Since there are 61 codons specifying AMINO acids, the cell should CONTAIN 61 different tRNAmolecules, each with a different anticodon. Actually,however, the number of tRNA molecule types discovered is much LESS than 61. This implies thatthe anticodons of some tRNAread moer than one codon on mRNA.
