Assertion: Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus but translation takes place in the cytoplasm.
Reason: mRNA is transferred from the nucleus into cytoplasm where ribosomes and amino acids are available for protein synthesis.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Explanation:
In eukaryotes, the replication and transcription takes place in the nucleus. mRNA comes out from the nucleus through the nuclear pore. In cytoplasm, translation occurs. In prokaryote, there is no nuclear membrane, so replication, transcription and translation all occur in the cytoplasm.
