Question

Assertion (A): Elephants have a larger cell size than that of a mouse.

Reason (R): The size of the cell is dependent on the size of an organism.

Answer 1

• The size of an organism is independent of the size of the cell. However, it is dependent on the number of cells present in the organism.
• Therefore, an elephant and a mouse, irrespective of their size difference will have cells of similar size but the numbers of cells will be greater in the elephant than that of the mouse.
