A : RNA polymerase is of three types in eukaryotes for the synthesis of all types of RNAs.
R : RNA polymerase consists of six types of polypeptides along with rho factor which is involved in termination of RNA synthesis.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "RNA polymerase is of three types in eukaryotes for the synthesis of all types of RNAs." - In eukaryotes, there are indeed three types of RNA polymerases: - **RNA Polymerase I**: Synthesizes rRNA (except 5S rRNA). - **RNA Polymerase II**: Synthesizes mRNA, miRNA, and snRNA. - **RNA Polymerase III**: Synthesizes tRNA and 5S rRNA. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "RNA polymerase consists of six types of polypeptides along with rho factor which is involved in termination of RNA synthesis." - In reality, RNA polymerase in eukaryotes is composed of five types of polypeptides, not six. The rho factor is typically associated with prokaryotic RNA polymerase and is not a component of eukaryotic RNA polymerases. - Therefore, the reason is **false**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is: **Assertion is true, Reason is false**. ---
