Question:

Statement I: Uracil is present in DNA.

Statement II: RNA undergoes replication.

Options:

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

 

Statement I is correct but Statement II is false

Statement I is false but Statement II is correct

Correct Answer:

Statement I is false but Statement II is correct

Explanation:

The answer is (4) Statement I is false but Statement II is correct.

Statement I: Uracil is present in DNA.

This statement is false. Uracil is not present in DNA. DNA contains the nitrogenous bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Uracil is found in RNA instead of thymine.

Statement II: RNA undergoes replication.

This statement is correct. RNA is a single-stranded molecule that can be replicated. The process of RNA replication is similar to the process of DNA replication, but there are some key differences. For example, RNA uses uracil instead of thymine, and it uses RNA polymerase instead of DNA polymerase.

Therefore, Statement I is false and Statement II is correct.
