Solution

The correct option is D Both assertion and reason are false

Messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules have certain additional nucleotide sequences that do not get translated and hence are referred to as untranslated regions (UTR). They can be found at both 5' -end (before start codon) and at 3' -end (after stop codon). They are required for translation to proceed efficiently.

Translation is the process by which the coded information in mRNA is used to synthesise polypeptides in the ribosomes.

Transcription is the process by which information from one of the strands of DNA is copied to a strand of mRNA. It does not involve UTRs.

The function of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules is to carry amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis. They lack UTRs.
