NEETZoologyMolecular Basis of Inheritance
Criteria/Property Explanation A. Replication 1. Ability to create an exact duplicate B. Stability 2. Allows for the evolution and adaptation over time C. Mutability 3. More reactive due to the presence of the 2'-OH group D. Expression 4. Can directly code for proteins without additional steps
Options
- AA - 1, B - 3, C - 2, D - 4
- BA - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2
- CA - 1, B - 3, C - 4, D - 2
- DA - 1, B - 4, C - 2, D - 3
Correct answer
A. A - 1, B - 3, C - 2, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
A - 1: Replication refers to the ability to create an exact duplicate of the genetic material. B - 3: Stability ensures the genetic material remains unchanged across various conditions. C - 2: Mutability allows for the possibility of mutations, which contribute to evolution. D - 4: Expression involves the direct coding for proteins, which is an ability of RNA.
