With the help of a given diagram, identify the correct statement. Assertion: It is a type of unipolar neuron found in the cerebral cortex. Reason: It contains a single axon with two or more dendrites.

Options

  1. ABoth assertion and reason are correct and reason is the not correct explanation of the assertion.
  2. BBoth assertion and reason are correct but reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. CThe assertion is wrong and the reason is correct.
  4. DThe assertion is correct but the reason is wrong.

Correct answer

C. The assertion is wrong and the reason is correct.

Step-by-step solution

Based on the number of axon and dendrites, the neurons are divided into three types, i.e., multipolar (with one axon and two or more dendrites; found in the cerebral cortex), bipolar (with one axon and one dendrite, found in the retina of eye) and unipolar (cell body with one axon only; found usually in the embryonic stage).
