The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reasoning provided in the question, we will break down each statement and evaluate their validity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states: "Recombinant DNA technologies process has been less effective in therapeutic drug production." - This implies that recombinant DNA technology does not produce effective therapeutic drugs. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - This statement is **false**. Recombinant DNA technology has been highly effective in producing therapeutic drugs. For example, it has been used to produce insulin, growth hormones, and other important therapeutic proteins. 3. **Understanding the Reasoning (R)**: - The reasoning states: "Recombinant therapeutics induce unwanted immunological responses." - This suggests that drugs produced through recombinant DNA technology cause adverse immune reactions. 4. **Evaluating the Reasoning**: - This statement is also **false**. While some recombinant therapeutics can cause immunological responses in certain individuals, many are designed to minimize such responses. In fact, many recombinant drugs are well-tolerated and specifically target the faulty biological pathways without eliciting significant immune reactions. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion (A) and the reasoning (R) are false. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both A and R are false statements. ### Final Answer: Both assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are false statements. ---
