Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: Endometrium is necessary for implantation of blastocyst.

Reason R: In the absence of fertilization, the corpus luteum degenerates that causes disintegration of endometrium.

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

1. A is false but R is true.

2. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

3. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

4. A is true but R is false.

Best answer

Answer: 3. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Key idea: Both statements are true, but they are unrelated.

  • A is true: the blastocyst implants in the endometrium.
  • R is true: without fertilisation the corpus luteum degenerates, progesterone falls and the endometrium breaks down (menstruation).

R does not explain why the endometrium is needed for implantation, so option 3.
