Question

4. Assertion A: Prokaryotes are identified by the membrane bound cell organelles. Reason R: Prokaryotes are considered as the primitive forms of life. *

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.

Answer 1

d) A is false but R is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prokaryotes are group of organisms that do not possess a membrane bound nucleus or any other membrane bound organelle in their cell e.g. mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum etc. They lack such organelles.

However, they are truly considered as a primitive life form; much more primitive than eukaryotic organisms. Examples of prokaryotes are bacteria, archeae etc. Based on the above explanation, it is clear that the assertion (A) in this question is FALSE but the reason (R) is TRUE.
