ASSETION REASONING QUESTIONS
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason.
Mark the correct choice as:
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
(d) If both Assertion and Reason are false.

Q 8 . Assertion : Interphase is resting stage.


Reason : The interphase cell is metabolically inactive.
Q 9. Assertion: Cell growth results in disturbing the ratio between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
Reason : Mitosis helps the cell to restore the nucleocytoplasmic ratio.
Q.10. Assertion: During anaphase, centromere of each chromosomes splits and chromatids separate.
Reason : Chromatids move to opposite poles.
