NEET - 2022

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion(A): The main challenge for production of insulin using rDNA techniques was
getting insulin assembled into a mature form.
Reason (R): Insulin consists of two short polypeptide chains: chain A and chain B, that
are linked together by disulphide bridges.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is True; (R) is False
4. Both (A) and (R) are False
