The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "the flow of genetic information is through the DNA of the nucleus." - This is a correct statement as DNA serves as the primary genetic material in eukaryotic cells, where it is located in the nucleus. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is that "the central dogma is represented as follows: DNA → mRNA (transcription) → polypeptides and proteins (translation)." - This statement accurately describes the central dogma of molecular biology, which explains how genetic information is transferred from DNA to RNA and then to proteins. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion and reason both describe the flow of genetic information. - The assertion emphasizes that DNA is the source of genetic information, while the reason explains the process through which this information is expressed in the form of proteins. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason provides a correct explanation of the assertion. - Therefore, we conclude that both statements are true and that the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
