The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  • Eukaryotes are more complex than prokaryotes in their body organization as well as the genetic material. It is because the eukaryotes have a nucleus in which genetic material is found separated from the cytoplasm. They also have more DNA than prokaryotes.
  • In contrast, prokaryotes are simple. They do not have any nucleus, in absence of which their genomes are less complex.
