The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about yeast, we will break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Assertion and Reason:** - Assertion: "Yeasts form a pseudomycelium." - Reason: "Yeasts are prokaryotic." 2. **Evaluate the Assertion:** - Yeasts are unicellular organisms that belong to the kingdom Fungi. - They can form structures known as pseudomycelium, which is a chain-like arrangement of yeast cells that resemble true mycelium but are not the same. - Therefore, the assertion that "Yeasts form a pseudomycelium" is **true**. 3. **Evaluate the Reason:** - The reason states that "Yeasts are prokaryotic." - However, yeasts are actually unicellular eukaryotes, which means they have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. - Thus, the statement that "Yeasts are prokaryotic" is **false**. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the correct answer is that the assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false.
