For Questions number 13 to 16, two statements are given one labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these
questions from the codes (A), (B), (C) and (D) as given below.

(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the
correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not
the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

13. Assertion (A) : Some experts believe that there must be more than
30,000 genes in human genome.
Reason (R) : Unreliability of in silico gene prediction is responsible for
reporting lesser number of genes in human genome. 1

14. Assertion (A) : The exact chemical composition of complex microbial
growth media is known.
Reason (R) : Complex nutrient media is used when specific growth
requirement of a microorganism is unknown. 1

15. Assertion (A) : The regulation of pH is essential for survival of
mammalian cells.
Reason (R) : Animal cell cultures mostly make use of Bicarbonate
carbon dioxide buffering system to maintain pH. 1

16. Assertion (A) : During plant tissue culture, the explants are treated with
sodium hypochlorite.

Reason (R) : Sodium hypochlorite helps in acclimatization of the
regenerated plants. 1
