-Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) :
All vertebrates are chordates but all chordates but all chordates are not vertibrates.
Reason (R) :
Notochord is replaced by vertebral column in the adult vertebrates
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
(A) is not correct but (R) is correct
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Assertion is True. Chordates can be vertebrates & Invertebrates. Thus, all vertebrates are definitely chordates.
Reason: Chordates are vertebrates when Notochord is replaced by a vertebral Column. Hence Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Hence, Option (4) is correct.
