AIIMS 2019 Botany Cell Structure Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: Eukaryotes contain membrane bound cell organelles and linear chromosome present in nucleus. Reason: In prokaryotes nucleus is present.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as eukaryotes indeed possess membrane-bound organelles and linear chromosomes located within a nucleus. However, the reason is false because prokaryotes do not have a nucleus; instead, their genetic material is located in a nucleoid region. Therefore, since the assertion is true and the reason is false, option D is the correct choice. Other options are incorrect because they either incorrectly assert the truth of the reason or misinterpret the relationship between the assertion and reason.
