NEET Zoology Proteins Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11

Assertion (A): The tertiary structure of proteins provides a 3-dimensional view of the protein. | Reason (R): Only right-handed helices are observed in the secondary structure of proteins.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true, but R is false.

D

A is false, but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

While both the assertion and the reason are true statements, the reason does not explain why the tertiary structure provides a 3-dimensional view. The tertiary structure results from the folding of the protein chain, not the helical arrangements in the secondary structure.
