The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements about Bt toxin and Bacillus thuringiensis (B. thuringiensis), we will break down the assertion (A) and the reason (R) step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "Bt toxin are protein crystals containing insecticidal protein." - This is true. Bt toxin refers to the insecticidal proteins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis, which are indeed found in the form of protein crystals. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "B. thuringiensis forms these protein crystals throughout continuously during their growth period." - This statement is false. B. thuringiensis does not produce Bt toxin continuously throughout its growth period. Instead, it produces these protein crystals during a specific phase of its life cycle known as sporulation. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Since the assertion (A) is true but the reason (R) is false, we conclude that the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. 4. **Final Conclusion**: - The assertion is correct, while the reason is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is that A is true, and R is false.
