Markovnikov's rule is applicable to:
Which of the following is a reducing sugar?
Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyze the following reaction : $\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{S}^{\#} \rightarrow \mathrm{~S}+\mathrm{S}^{\#}-\mathrm{G}$ Where, $G \rightarrow$ a group other than hydrogen $S \rightarrow$ a substrate $\mathrm{S}^{\#} \rightarrow$ another substrate
Identify the suitable reagent for the following conversion 
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : undergoes $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction faster than Reason (R) : Iodine is a better leaving group because of its large size. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
