Question

Assertion :Cryopreservation is one of the best methods of germplasm storage. Reason: In cryopreservation, the cells remain in a suspended animation.
  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
  3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
  4. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
C
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
D
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Solution
Verified by Toppr

A) Assertion is correct as cryopreservation is one of the best and foolproof methods of storing germplasm. Reason is correct as cryopreservation halts the cell activity and hence, the cells do not age. These cells can be recovered and can resume their activity later on.
B) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
C) Reason is correct.
D) Both Assertion and Reason are correct .
So the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
