Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
tRNA have the ability to match a codon with its appropriate anti codon to attach the correct amino acid sequence. It also recognizes a specific codon in mRNA to promote the addition of attached amino acid to a growing peptide chain. Non sense codons also called stop codons are responsible for the termination of peptide chain because these are not recognised by tRNA. So, the correct answer is A.
