Assertion and Reason both are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Vedclass · Answer

(A) : Myocardial infarction (heart attack) is caused by the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) in the coronary arteries. Genetic engineering has allowed for the mass production of thrombolytic agents.$R$: Streptokinase is an enzyme produced by the bacterium $Streptococcus$. Through Recombinant $DNA$ Technology $(RDT)$,it is modified and purified to be used as a 'clot buster' in patients who have undergone myocardial infarction. This enzyme helps in dissolving the blood clots in the blood vessels,thereby restoring blood flow. Thus,both statements are correct and the Reason explains the Assertion.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(a)$ Aspergillus niger	$(i)$ Acetic Acid
$(b)$ Acetobacter aceti	$(ii)$ Lactic Acid
$(c)$ Clostridium butylicum	$(iii)$ Citric Acid
$(d)$ Lactobacillus	$(iv)$ Butyric Acid

$I$. Citric acid	$A$. Lactobacillus
$II$. Acetic acid	$B$. Acetobacter aceti
$III$. Butyric acid	$C$. Aspergillus niger
$IV$. Lactic acid	$D$. Clostridium butylicum

$A$: Myocardial infarction can now be treated more effectively due to genetic engineering.
$R$: Streptokinase produced by $Streptococcus$ and modified by $RDT$ is used as a clot buster for removing thrombus.
