The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Chromosomes are thread-like structures present in the nucleus." This statement is true. Chromosomes are indeed thread-like structures that contain genetic information and are located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. 2. **Understand the Reason**: The reason provided is "In bacteria, chromosomes are not found as there is no nucleus." This statement is misleading. While it is true that bacteria do not have a nucleus (as they are prokaryotic cells), they do have chromosomes. Bacterial chromosomes are typically circular and are located in the cytoplasm, not in a nucleus. 3. **Evaluate the Truth of Each Statement**: - The assertion is true. - The reason is false because it incorrectly states that chromosomes are not found in bacteria. 4. **Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. 5. **Select the Correct Option**: Based on the evaluation, the correct option is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is: **Assertion is true, but Reason is false.** ---
