Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall surrounding the cell membrane. The fluid matrix filling the cell is the cytoplasm. There is no well-defined nucleus. The genetic material is basically naked in the cytoplasm, not enveloped by a nuclear membrane. The nuclear membrane is found in eukaryotes. The prokaryotic cells lack mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, microtubules, microfilaments, and centrioles.
Cytoplasmic streaming, also called cyclosis, is the directed flow of cytosol (the liquid component of the cytoplasm) and organelles that aids in the delivery of organelles, nutrients, metabolites, genetic information, and other materials to all parts of the cell. In prokaryotes, cytoplasm does not show cyclosis or streaming movements.
So, the answer is A.
