Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Transfer RNAs and ribosomal RNA do not interact with mRNA.
Statement II: RNA interference (RNAi) takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defence.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:- NEET (UG) - 2025
- RNA interference
- Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the RNA world, RNA is considered the first genetic material evolved to carry out essential life processes. RNA acts as a genetic material and also as a catalyst for some important biochemical reactions in living systems. Being reactive, RNA is unstable.
Statement II: DNA evolved from RNA and is a more stable genetic material. Its double helical strands being complementary, resist changes by evolving repair mechanisms. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:- NEET (UG) - 2025

- Two gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radii \(r_A\) and \(r_B\) respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the cylinders, their pressures remain constant and their pistons are displaced by 16 cm and 9 cm respectively. If the change in their internal energies is the same, then the ratio \(r_A / r_B\) is:

Concepts Used:
Prokaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic cells are single-celled microorganisms known to be the earliest on earth. Prokaryotes include Bacteria and Archaea. The photosynthetic prokaryotes include cyanobacteria that perform photosynthesis.
A prokaryotic cell contains a single membrane and therefore, all the reactions occur within the cytoplasm. They can be free-living or parasites.
Characteristics of Prokaryotic Cell:
Prokaryotic cells have different characteristic features such as:
- Lack of a nuclear membrane.
- Absence of Mitochondria, Golgi bodies, chloroplast, and lysosomes.
- Presence of genetic material on a single chromosome.
- Lack of histone proteins in the constituents of eukaryotic chromosomes.
- The cell wall is made up of carbohydrates and amino acids.
- The plasma membrane acts as the mitochondrial membrane carrying respiratory enzymes.
