Question

Directions: Choose the correct option:

Assertion $\left(A\right):$ Lizards can regenerate their lost tail.

Reason $\left(R\right):$ Lizards have limbs.

Answer 1

Correct option: $\left(b\right)$Both assertion$\left(A\right)$ and reason$\left(R\right)$ are true, but reason$\left(R\right)$ is not the correct explanation for assertion.

$\bullet$ Autotomy is the ability of certain animals to release part of the body that has been grasped by an external agent.

$\bullet$ For example, lizards self-amputate their tail by the process of caudal autotomy.

$\bullet$ Lizards can regenerate their lost tail after some days.

$\bullet$ Lizards belong to the class Reptilia, so they have limbs and come into the category of tetrapods.

$\bullet$ So, both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

$\bullet$ So, the correct answer is $\left(b\right).$
