Assertion : Split genes are found in eukaryotes.
Reason : Introns or intervening sequences are found in prokaryotes.

Options

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

Answer

C

Explanation

`**` In eukaryotes, the monocistronic structural genes have interrupted coding sequences - the genes in eukaryotes are split.
`**` The coding sequences or expressed sequences are defined as exons.
`**` Exons are said to be those sequence that appear in mature or processed RNA.
`**` The exons are interrupted by introns.
`**` Introns or intervening sequences do not appear in mature or processed RNA.
