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

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

Best answer

Answer: 1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Key idea: The Golgi apparatus is the packaging and dispatch centre of the cell.

A is true: it packages materials from the ER and delivers them to targets inside or outside the cell. R is true: vesicles from the ER fuse with the cis (forming) face, the contents are modified, and they leave from the trans (maturing) face. R describes how the packaging and dispatch happen, so it explains A. Option 1.
