Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: Adenine and Guanine are substituted pyrimidines while uracil, cytosine and thymine are substituted purines. Reason: A nucleic acid containing deoxyribose sugar is called ribonucleic acid(RNA).
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion and Reason are false
