Question

Assertion (A) : Eggs of \textit{Ascaris are described as mamillated eggs.} Reason (R) : Each egg is surrounded by a protein coat with rippled surface.

• A. \( \text{(A) and (R) are correct. (R) is the correct explanation of (A)} \)
• B. \( \text{(A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)} \)
• C. \( \text{(A) is correct but (R) is not correct} \)
• D. \( \text{(A) is not correct but (R) is correct} \)

Hint:

In biological questions involving assertions and reasons, always ensure that the explanation given in the reason supports the statement made in the assertion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: The assertion states that the eggs of \textit{Ascaris} are mamillated. This refers to the presence of a specific type of coat, which is described as mamillated eggs in the organism.
Step 2: The reason (R) explains that the protein coat surrounding each egg has a rippled surface, which correlates with the described mamillated structure.
Thus, both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason accurately explains the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.
