Assertion: TMV is a virus which causes mosaic disease.
Reason: TMV has RNA as genetic material.
Assertion
Assertion: TMV is a virus which causes mosaic disease.
Elaboration: TMV causes the mottling of leaves, leaving them with light and dark green or yellow patches. This is called mosaic disease
Reason
Reason: TMV has RNA as genetic material.
Elaboration: Tobacco mosaic virus consists of a capsid (protein cover) made up of units called capsomeres. The centre of the capsid contains single-strand RNA.
Hence, the statements given in both assertion and reason are correct but the reason does not justify the assertion.
Final answer
(b) If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
