The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Endoplasmic reticulum also acts as the cell-skeleton." - The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is indeed a network of membranes that extends throughout the cytoplasm of the cell. - It provides structural support and helps maintain the shape of the cell, similar to a skeleton. - Therefore, the assertion is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Flagellum of a prokaryotic cell is formed of a protein called Tubulin." - In prokaryotic cells (like bacteria), the flagellum is made of a protein called **flagellin**, not tubulin. - Tubulin is the protein that makes up the microtubules in eukaryotic cells, which are found in structures like cilia and eukaryotic flagella. - Therefore, the reason is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion: - The assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect. - Since the reason does not explain or relate to the assertion, we conclude that the correct relationship is that the assertion is true while the reason is false. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is correct. - The reason is incorrect. - Therefore, the correct answer is **Option C: Assertion is correct, reason is wrong**. ---
