Question

Assertion : A major advantage of tissue culture is protoplast fusion.

Reason : A hybrid is formed by the fusion of
naked protoplasts of two plants.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
