Directions : In the following questions a statement of assertion (A) ...
Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
Gastrulation is a crucial process in embryonic development where the blastocyst, a hollow ball of cells, undergoes cell movements to form three germinal layers - ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. These germinal layers give rise to various tissues and organs in the developing embryo.
The correct explanation for why blastocyst undergoes gastrulation is not provided by Reason (R). While it is true that gastrulation involves cell movements (morphogenetic movement) that help to attain a new shape and morphology of the embryo, this explanation does not directly correlate with the assertion that blastocyst undergoes gastrulation to form three germinal layers.
The main reason blastocyst undergoes gastrulation is to establish the three germinal layers, which are essential for the subsequent development of specialized tissues and organs. The process of gastrulation involves cell migration, differentiation, and rearrangement, leading to the formation of the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm.
The ectoderm gives rise to the skin, nervous system, and sensory organs. The endoderm forms the lining of the digestive tract, respiratory system, and associated glands. The mesoderm develops into muscles, skeletal system, circulatory system, excretory system, and reproductive system.
Therefore, while the assertion is true, the reason provided is not the correct explanation for the assertion. Hence, option 'C' is the correct answer.
