C

If Assertion is True but the Reason is Flase.

D

If both Assertion & Reason are false.

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "An mRNA also has some additional sequences that are not translated and are referred to as UTR." - UTR stands for Untranslated Regions, which are indeed parts of the mRNA that do not code for proteins. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - This statement is **correct**. UTRs are present in mRNA and do not get translated into proteins. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "The UTRs are present at both the 5' end and at the 3' end and they have no specific function." - UTRs are indeed located at both ends of the mRNA (5' UTR and 3' UTR). 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - While it is true that UTRs are present at both ends, the claim that they "have no specific function" is **incorrect**. UTRs play crucial roles in the regulation of translation, stability of the mRNA, and the initiation of translation. 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true and the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: True - Reason: False
