Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A is not correct but R is correct
  2. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
  3. Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
  4. A is correct but R is not correct

Answer

(2) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Solution

DNA is enclosed within membranes and cell walls. To isolate genetic material, cells must be broken open; lysozyme breaks the bacterial cell wall and cellulase breaks the plant cell wall. Thus, Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Answer: (2)
