The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Euchromatin is said to be transcriptionally active chromatin." - **Explanation**: Euchromatin is a form of chromatin that is less densely packed than heterochromatin. It is associated with active gene transcription because the DNA in euchromatin is accessible to the transcription machinery. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is "Due to loose coiling of euchromatin, RNA polymerase can easily move up on it." - **Explanation**: The loose coiling of euchromatin allows RNA polymerase, the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template, to access the DNA strands more easily. This accessibility facilitates the transcription process. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of the Assertion and Reason**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true statements. - The assertion is accurate because euchromatin is indeed transcriptionally active. - The reason is also true because the loose coiling of euchromatin does allow RNA polymerase to move freely, enabling transcription. 4. **Determining the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason**: - The reason provided explains why the assertion is true. The loose coiling of euchromatin is the mechanism that allows for its transcriptional activity. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Assertion :- Most of the X-linked disorders can not be eliminated easily from nature and our gene pool. Reason : X-linked dosorders are due to recessive genes.

Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body can be associated with a 'speeding up' of the body. Reason: Increase in speed of a moving body is independent of its direction of motion.

Assertion: Amongest the halogens, fluorine can oxidise the elements to the highest oxidation- state. Reason: Due to small size of fluoride ion, it is difficult to oxidise fluoride ion to fluorine. Hence reverse reaction takes place more easily.

Assertion A beam of electron can pass undeflected through a region of E and B. Reason Force on moving charged particle due to magnetic field may be zero in some cases.

These questions consists of two statements each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following five reponses (a) If both Assertion and Reason arecorrect and Reason is the correct explanation of Asserrtion. (b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. (c ) If Assertion is true but Reason is false. (d) If Assertion is false but Reason is true. Assertion A block of mass m starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity v. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of 30^(@) with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity v. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation. Reason The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the anglle of inclination.

Assertion A car moves along a road with uniform speed. The path of car lies in vertical plane and shown in fighre. The radius of curvature (R) of the path is same everywhere. If the car does not loose contact with road at the highest point, it can travel the shown path without loosing contact with road anywhere else. Reason For car to loose contact with road, the normal reaction between car and road should be zero.

Assertion: The trajectory of an object moving under the same accleration due to gravity can be straight line or a parabola depending on the initial conditions. Reason: The shape of the trajectory of the motion of an object is determined by the acceleration alone.

Assertion :- A ball is thrown from the edge of a very high clif. No matter what the angle at which it is thrown , due to air resistance, the ball will eventually end up moving vertically downward. Reason :- In horizontal direction there is a component of retarding force of air resistance alone.
