Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
When we extract RNA from the tomato cells it is first treated with cellulase so that the cell wall of the cells can be broken down by the cellulase activity . And to digest the protein content we need to treat it with the protease. The deoxyribose nuclease is added to digest the DNA content of the cell suspension.
So the correct option is 'Both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation for assertion'.
