A diagramatic illustration of the process of transcription by RNA polymerase-II in eukaryote is given below. Choose the most appropriate statement with respect to the fate of the precursor of mRNA transcribed that will be :
1. Translation will take place once the precursor of mRNA leaves the nucleus.
2. Translation on mRNA will not take place once the precursor of mRNA leaves the nucleus.
3. Translation will take place in the nucleus.
4. The precursor of mRNA has to be processed further in next step before being translated.

Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | If each strand from a parental DNA acts as a template for synthesis of a new strand, the two double stranded daughter DNA thus, produced would be identical to the parental DNA molecule. |
| Reason (R): | For a double stranded DNA, the ratios between Adenine and Thymine and Guanine and Cytosine are constant and equals one. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
| 2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
