Question

Assertion (A): The interstitial spaces of seminiferous tubules contain Leydig cells.

Reason (R): Leydig cells synthesise and secrete hormones called androgens.

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

Leydig cells are found in the interstitial spaces and do secrete androgens. Their hormone secretion does not explain why they are located in those spaces.
