Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): In prokaryotic cells, transcription and translation can occur simultaneously.
Reason (R): Prokaryotes have a nuclear membrane that separates the processes of transcription and translation.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

What is the role of the adapter molecule tRNA in translation?
1. It transfers mRNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
2. tRNA initiates the transcription of DNA into mRNA.
3. tRNA decodes the mRNA codon sequence by matching it with its complementary anticodon and brings the corresponding amino acid.
4. tRNA synthesizes proteins by catalyzing peptide bond formation between amino acids.
