Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason.
STATEMENT-1 (Assertion): AUG is the start codon, thus all polypeptides will begin with methionine.
STATEMENT -2 (Reason): The codons AUU, AUC and AUA undergo mutation at third base position to form a new codon, which will again start the protein synthesis in the middle of mRNA strand.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
- Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- Assertion is true but Reason is false
