Assertion : In recombinant DNA technology, human genes are often transferred into bacteria (prokaryotes) or yeast (eukaryote).
Reason : Both bacteria and yeast multiply very fast to form huge populations which express the desired gene.

B.
If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
SPM or Suspended Particulate Matter is defined as the particles floating in the air with a diameter below 10 m. High SPM concentrations in the air can have a detrimental impact on respiratory organs. It is generated from natural sources (e.g., volcanoes or dust storms) and human activities (vehicles, incinerators and industrial plants).
Catalytic converter is a device designed to reduce the amount of emissions from automobiles. The current or 3- way system use a heated metal catalyst to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons, and nitric oxide (NO), all of which contribute to the formation of photochemical smog. In an automobile's exhaust system, it provides an environment for a chemical reaction where unburnt hydrocarbons completely combust.Toxic car gases such as unburnt hydrocarbon (UHC) and carbon monoxide (CO) would not exist if the fuel to energy conversion in the engine were perfect.
Assertion : Methane component of green house gases contributing to global warming is about 20 percent.
Reason : Introduction of multi-point fuel injection engines in automobiles has decreased methane content in the exhausts.
