The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "the recombinant cells are multiplied in a continuous culture system." - This is true because continuous culture systems are designed to maintain and grow cells over extended periods, allowing for the production of recombinant proteins. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is that "it is to maintain the cells in their physiologically most active log/exponential phase." - This is also true. The log or exponential phase is when cells are actively dividing and metabolically active, which is ideal for producing recombinant proteins. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion and reason are connected because the purpose of using a continuous culture system is indeed to keep the cells in their most active growth phase, which enhances productivity. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true. - The reason correctly explains why the assertion is true, as maintaining cells in the exponential phase is crucial for maximizing the yield of recombinant proteins. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
