Assertion : Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm.Reason : mRNA is transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm where ribosomes and amino acids are available for protein synthesis.
- A(a) Both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
- B(b) Both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
- C(c) Assertion is true statement but Reason is false
- D(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false statements
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
replication and transcription take place in the nucleus where the genetic material is located. The resulting then travels to the cytoplasm, where translation (protein synthesis) occurs because the necessary ribosomes and amino acids are found there. Both are true and the reason explains the spatial separation of these processes.
