Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 

Assertion (A): Electrical synapses are faster but rare in human beings.
Reason (R): Electrical synapses contain gap junctions that allow electric current to flow directly from one neuron to another.

In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 

Assertion (A): Most of the synapses in vertebrates conduct information in only one direction.
Reason (R): Only the postsynaptic cells can bind and respond to neurotransmitters.


In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

Consider the two statements:
I. Electrical synapses are rare in our system.
II. Electrical synapses conduct impulse faster than the chemical synapse.

1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. Only I is correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
