Question

Assertion :Eukaryotic cell shows extensive compartmentalisation of cytoplasm. Reason: The presence of membrane-bound organelles is an important character in eukaryotes.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true but (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

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

• Prokaryotic cells are primitive organisms, with the simple structural organization.
• They lack membrane-bounded organelles and have a disorganized nucleus. Whereas eukaryotes have extensive compartmentalization of cytoplasm
• Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, nucleus, mitochondria, lysosomes, etc.

Thus, the correct answer is option B
