The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Zona pellucida is glycoproteinous in nature and dissolved during the event of implantation." - The zona pellucida is indeed a glycoprotein layer that surrounds the plasma membrane of mammalian oocytes (eggs). - It plays a crucial role in fertilization and must dissolve before implantation occurs. 2. **Confirming the Assertion**: - The zona pellucida does dissolve during the implantation process. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that "The blastocyst, along with zona pellucida, enters in decidua of uterus to protect itself from uterine acidic medium." - The blastocyst is the stage of the embryo that forms after the fertilized egg divides and develops into a fluid-filled structure. - The implantation process occurs when the blastocyst attaches to the uterine wall, specifically the decidua. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - Before the implantation, the zona pellucida is dissolved, and the blastocyst does not carry the zona pellucida into the uterus. - Therefore, the reason provided is **false** because the blastocyst does not enter the uterus with the zona pellucida. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Assertion is true, but the reason is false.** ---
