Question

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 true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

In eukaryotes, the replication and transcription takes place in the nucleus. mRNA comes out from the nucleus through the nuclear pore. Then in the cytoplasm, translation occurs as the ribosomes and amino acids are present there.
