18105.

Assertion: Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm.

Reason: mRNA is transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm where ribosomes and amino acids are available for protein synthesis.

Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Assertion is true statement but Reason is false.
Both Assertion and Reason are false statements.

18107.

Assertion: Amber codon is a termination codon.

Reason: If in a mRNA, a termination codon is present, the protein synthesis stops abruptly whether the protein synthesis is complete or not.

Both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanations of Assertion.
Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
Both Assertion and Reason are false.
