Question

Assertion (A): In eukaryotes, both intron and exon are transcribed to form hnRNA
Reason (R) : Splicing is required in prokaryotes

• A. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. Assertion is true but reason is false
• D. Both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Assertion is true but reason is false

In prokaryotes such as bacteria, the mRNA does not require any processing to become active. Transcription and translation also takes place in the same compartment and they happen together in prokaryotes. Therefore splicing is not required.
