Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
- The total amount of iron in an adult body is 3.5 g. When this amount goes below this value, its deficiency results in a disease called anemia.
- Out of these about 2.5 gm combines with the four nitrogen atoms in the centre of the porphyrin ring to form the heme protein.
Thus, the correct explanation is option A.
