5 FALSE as replication donot involve tRNA
6- AAbb is homozygous as it contains one type of allele - A and b
7- both a and b are true
8- both a and b are true as different sequences make different gene and which makes different proteins
9-diploid homologous chromosome pairs
10- false as some mutations donot result in change
11- true when tge codon reading changes the amino acid automatically changes
12-the duplication of DNA results in a double strand of DNA having one original and one new strand
as semi conservative means genetic material is preserved in form of original strand
13- mitosis as duplication occurs in mitosis process
14- both genes and alleles
15- three or more
16- true as mutation can result in change in allele
17- 20 only as n remains same
18- meiosis
19- true case of incomplete dominance
20- false they are not sex chromosomes
21- homozygous dominant or heterozygous
22- true- as independent assortment takes place
23- none of these . all are part of cell cycle
24- true
25- false as Adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine with guanine
26- substituition of a with t
27- false. as they donot have any direct relation
28- female example xx
29- both a and b statements are true
30- both a and b statements are true
