Vedclass · Answer

(D) Teminism,also known as reverse transcription,refers to the synthesis of $DNA$ from an $RNA$ template. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme reverse transcriptase ($RNA$-dependent $DNA$ polymerase),not $DNA$-dependent $RNA$ polymerase.Since Teminism involves the flow of information from $RNA$ to $DNA$,it contradicts the central dogma's concept of unidirectional flow $(DNA \rightarrow RNA \rightarrow Protein)$.Therefore,the Assertion is incorrect because Teminism represents a deviation from the standard unidirectional flow,and the Reason is incorrect because it cites the wrong enzyme.

Column $I$	Column $II$
$A$. Griffith	$i$. Lac operon
$B$. Jacob and Monod	$ii$. $DNA$ is the genetic material
$C$. Meselson and Stahl	$iii$. Transforming principle
$D$. Hershey and Chase	$iv$. $DNA$ replicates semiconservatively

$A$: Teminism is the unidirectional flow of information.
$R$: It requires $DNA$-dependent $RNA$ polymerase enzyme.
