Question

Assertion (A): In a bioreactor, the desired gene products are biologically converted into specific products like proteins and enzymes.

Reason (R): A bioreactor provides the optimal growth conditions like temperature, pH, salts, vitamins and oxygen.

Options

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
