In the following question, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R)
(1) If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark A
(2) If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark B
(3) If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark C
(4) If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark D
Assertion: No two proteins with different amino acid sequences (primary structure) have identical overall structure.
Reason: The unique amino acid sequence of a protein is reflected in its unique folded structure.
A
B
C
D
No two proteins with different amino acid sequences (primary structure) have identical overall structure. The unique amino acid sequence of a protein is reflected in its unique folded structure. This structure, in turn, determines the protein’s function. This is why mutations that alter amino acid sequence can affect the function of a protein. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
