The central dogma of molecular genetics states that the genetic information flows from:
1. amino acid - proteins - DNA
2. DNA - carbohydrates - proteins
3. DNA - RNA - proteins
4. DNA - RNA - Carbohydrates
| 1. | The sugar component in RNA is ribose and the sugar component in DNA is 2'-deoxyribose. |
| 2. | The sugar component in RNA is arabinose and the sugar component in DNA is ribose. |
| 3. | The sugar component in RNA is 2'-deoxyribose and the sugar component in DNA is arabinose. |
| 4. |
The sugar component in RNA is arabinose and the sugar component in DNA is 2’-deoxyribose.

| Assertion (A): | Two strands of DNA are complementary to each other. |
| Reason (R): | Adenine specifically forms hydrogen bonds with guanine, whereas cytosine forms hydrogen bonds with thymine. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Statement I: | In DNA molecules, the sugar moiety is \(\beta\)-D-2-deoxyribose. |
| Statement II: | In RNA molecules, the sugar moiety is \(\beta\)-D-2-arabinose. |
| 1. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. |
| 2. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. |
| 3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
| 4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
| Assertion (A): | DNA has a double-helix structure and contains thymine base. |
| Reason (R): | The double helix provides structural stability but does not protect the genetic code. |
