Assertion (A) Adenine and guanine are present in RNA as purine bases. Reason (R) The base uracil is present in RNA. The correct option among the following is
Options
- A(A) is true, (R) is true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A) .
- B(A) is true, (R) is true but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A) .
- C(A) is true but (R) is false.
- D(A) is false but (R) is true.
Correct answer
B. (A) is true, (R) is true but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A) .
Step-by-step solution
RNA contains four bases : The purines - adenine (A) and guanine (G) . The pyrimidines - cytosine (C) and uracil (U). The bases can interact via hydrogen bonds. So, (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
