Question

Assertion: Tendons connect bone to bone and allow joint movement.

Reason: Tendons are made of tough connective tissue that transmits force from muscle to bone.

Options

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

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

• (A) is true, but (R) is false.

• (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer 1

(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Explanation:

The assertion is incorrect because tendons attach muscles to bones rather than connecting bones to each other. The structures that connect one bone to another are ligaments.

The reason is correct, as tendons are strong connective tissues that transfer the force generated by muscle contraction to the bones, enabling movement.
