| Direction: Each of these questions contains two statements |
| Assertion [A] and Reason [R]. Each of these questions also has four alternative choices, any one of which is the correct answer. You have to select one of the codes [a], [b], [c] and [d] given below. |
| Assertion [A] Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus, but translation takes place in the cytoplasm. |
| Reason [R] mRNA is transferred from the nucleus into cytoplasm where ribosomes and amino acids are available for protein synthesis. |
A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C) A is true, but R is false
D) A is false, but R is true
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. In eukaryotes, replication and transcription take place in the nucleus. The fully processed mRNA now called mRNA, is transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. This is because all the amino acids, tRNA and ribosomes required for translation are present in the cytoplasm.
