Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Certain gene-products, such as tRNA molecules, rRNA molecules, ribosomal proteins, RNA polymerase components (polypeptides) and other enzymes catalysing metabolic processes that are frequently referred to as cellular "housekeeping" functions, are essential components of almost all living cells. Genes that specify products of this type are continually being expressed in most cells. Such genes are said to be expressed constitutively and are frequently referred to as constitutive genes.
