Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other labelled as Reason (R).
• [Assertion (A):] Phytoplasma do not have cell wall and motility. 
• [Reason (R):] Phytoplasma colonize phloem. 
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below. 
 

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

Because phytoplasmas lack a cell wall, they are completely resistant to penicillin-type antibiotics (which target cell wall synthesis).
However, they are highly sensitive to tetracyclines, which inhibit protein synthesis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
