Q. Assertion (A): In a co-culture system, the two types of protoplasts must be in direct physical contact to exchange nutrients.

 Reason (R): Growth factors provided by "nurse" cells are diffusible and can move through the liquid or semi-solid culture medium.

Q. Assertion (A): Protoplasts are initially fragile and cannot undergo mitosis immediately after isolation. 

Reason (R): The enzymatic degradation of the cell wall during isolation removes the structural constraint required for organized cell division.

Q.Assertion (A): Fast-growing protoplasts act as a "feeder layer" in co-culture experiments. 

Reason (R): They compete with slow-growing protoplasts for limited carbon sources, thereby forcing the slow-growing cells to adapt faster.
