Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The somatotropin (STH), also called growth hormone (GH) is secreted by the anterior lobe of pituitary gland. Somatotropin stimulates body growth by stimulating retention of proteins and calcium in the body, synthesis and deposition of proteins in tissues, growth and elongation of long bones, and proportionate growth of muscles and visceral organs. The failure of secretion of growth hormone from an early age stops the growth of long bones and of the body prematurely; this makes the patient dwarf and this condition is called dwarfism.So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
