Question 125

Select the option that is true regarding the following two statements labelled Assertion (A) and Reason (R)

Assertion (A): Central dogma of life applies to all living being.

Reason (R): Central dogma of life is direction of flow of genetic information.

Solution

Assertion (A) correctly states that the central dogma of life applies universally to all living beings, which is true. This dogma describes the fundamental process by which genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to protein.

Reason (R) accurately identifies the direction of this flow of genetic information as a key aspect of the central dogma. However, while this directionality is indeed crucial, it does not fully elucidate why the central dogma applies to all living organisms. The central dogma's universality extends beyond its directional flow; it encompasses the fundamental mechanism by which genetic information is expressed across all forms of life.

Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) does not serve as the complete explanation for Assertion (A).

Option A is the correct answer.
