Two statements, one Assertion and the other Reason are given. Choose the right option.
Assertion: Insulin is called a protein whereas Glycyl alanine is not called a protein
Reason: A polypeptide with amino acid residue less than 100 can also be called as a protein if it has a well-defined conformation of a protein.
- A Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
- B Both Assertion and Reason are correct
- C Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
- D Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Both Assertion and Reason are correct
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Insulin is a hormone composed of 51 amino acids arranged in two polypeptide chains linked by disulfide bonds. It is classified as a protein because it possesses a specific, well-defined three-dimensional conformation essential for its biological activity. Therefore, the…
