The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "DNA replication in a bacterial cell is bidirectional." - In bacterial cells, the DNA is typically in the form of a circular chromosome. - During DNA replication, a structure called the replisome is formed at the origin of replication. - The replication process occurs in two directions from the origin, creating two replication forks that move away from each other. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "A chromosome with primary constriction is called 'SAT' chromosomes." - The term "SAT chromosomes" refers to satellite chromosomes, which are distinct from the main chromosomes. - Satellite chromosomes are characterized by a secondary constriction, not a primary one. - Therefore, the reason is **false**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Now, we need to establish the relationship between the assertion and the reason: - The assertion is true, while the reason is false. - The reason does not provide any support or explanation for the assertion. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is correct. - The reason is incorrect and unrelated to the assertion. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false. ### Final Answer Assertion is true; Reason is false. ---
