Q.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A), and the other is labelled as Reason (R).               [2025]

Assertion (A) : The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to package the materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum and deliver it to intracellular targets and outside the cell.

Reason (R) : Vesicles containing materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, and they are modified and released from the trans face of the Golgi apparatus.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

1 Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A  
2 Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A  
3 A is true but R is false  
4 A is false but R is true  

Ans.

(2)

The primary function of Golgi apparatus is to package the materials made by endoplasmic reticulum and deliver it to intracellular targets and outside the cell, this statement is correct and the reason statement is also correct. Golgi apparatus remains in close association with endoplasmic reticulum. Here, assertion and reason statements both are correct but reason is not correctly explaining assertion.
