Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

The bacterial cell is made competent by treating it with specific concentration of a divalent cation such as calcium to increase the efficiency with which DNA can enter the bacteria through pores of cell wall because DNA is a hydrophilic molecule and it cannot pass through cell membrane so making bacterial cell competent ease the process to take up DNA.
