The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given question, we will break down the assertion and reason step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "28S rRNA in bacteria acts as a ribozyme." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect because in bacteria, it is the 23S rRNA that functions as a ribozyme, not the 28S rRNA. The 28S rRNA is found in eukaryotes, not in bacteria. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "It is the main component for the formation of phosphodiester bond." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also incorrect in the context of the assertion. While the 23S rRNA does play a role in catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds (not phosphodiester bonds), the assertion incorrectly identifies the rRNA involved. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we can conclude that the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false.
