Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Mesosome is a convoluted membranous structure formed by infoldings of plasma membrane in the form of vesicles,tubules or lamellar whorls. All the prokaryotic cells have mesosomes. The folded invaginations increase the surface area of the plasma membrane.They help in cell wall formation. They also help in DNA replication and distribution to daughter cells. They help in respiration,secretion and to increase the surface area of the plasma membrane and the enzyme content.
The out folding of the plasma membrane in fungi is called as lomasomes.
So, the correct option is (C).
