Question

Assertion (A): The placenta is connected to the embryo through an umbilical cord.
Reason (R): Somatomammotropin released from placenta has anti-insulin effect on mother.

• A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
• C. A is true and R is false.
• D. A is wrong and R is true.

Hint:

In Assertion-Reason type questions, ensure both parts are understood and check if one explains the other.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Both the assertion and the reason are true. The assertion correctly states that the placenta connects to the embryo via the umbilical cord.
The reason is also accurate, as somatomammotropin released from the placenta affects the mother's insulin production, which is part of the biological process during pregnancy.
