Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  • AUG is a codon that codes for methionine. Like the rest of the genetic code, it is also unambiguous.
  • In bacteria, during translation, methionine requires two tRNAs- one which the methionine gets attached to at the A site of the ribosome and one from which methionine is removed and becomes uncharged, present at the P site of the ribosome.
So, he correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
