Question

Assertion (A): Central dogma is the flow of information from DNA to mRNA and then decoding it in the form of protein.

Reason (R): In retroviruses, reverse of central dogma occurs.

Options

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are false.

Answer 1

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Both statements are true. The reason describes reverse transcription in retroviruses, but it does not explain the usual flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein.
