Question:
Assertion (A): Pseudo stratified epithelium gives the false appearance of stratified epithelium.
Reason (R): Pseudo stratified epithelium is made up of more than one layer of cells to provide protection against stress.
Assertion (A): Pseudo stratified epithelium gives the false appearance of stratified epithelium.
Reason (R): Pseudo stratified epithelium is made up of more than one layer of cells to provide protection against stress.
Reason (R): Pseudo stratified epithelium is made up of more than one layer of cells to provide protection against stress.
Show Hint
“Pseudo” = false; it only looks stratified but is actually a single cell layer.

- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true and R is false.
- A is wrong and R is true.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Pseudo stratified epithelium consists of a single layer of cells that appear multilayered due to the varying positions of nuclei, but they all rest on the basement membrane. Hence, R is false.
