MCQ
Assertion (A): Dendrite is a single, long cylindrical process which forms fine branches terminally.
Reason (R): It consists of short processes arising from the cyton.
  • A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • C
    A is true but R is false.
  • A is false but R is true.

Answer

Correct option: D.
A is false but R is true.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation: Dendrite consists of short processes called dendrons that arises from the cyton and branches into
dendrites. Axon is a single, long cylindrical process which forms fine branches terminally.
