The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break it down into a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "All immunoglobulin molecules have a basic structure composed of four polypeptide chains." - **Explanation**: Immunoglobulins (antibodies) indeed have a basic structure that consists of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "The polypeptide chains consist of two identical heavy and light chains connected by disulfide bonds." - **Explanation**: This statement is also true. In immunoglobulins, the two heavy chains and two light chains are connected by disulfide bonds, which help maintain the structure of the antibody. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Truth of the Assertion and Reason Both the assertion and the reason are true statements about the structure of immunoglobulins. - The assertion correctly describes the basic structure of immunoglobulins. - The reason accurately explains how the chains are organized and connected. ### Step 4: Determine if the Reason Explains the Assertion Since the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion (it describes how the four polypeptide chains are formed and connected), we conclude that the reason supports the assertion. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ---
