Assertion (A): In I-cell disease, lysosomal enzymes are found in the bloodstream rather than in lysosomes.
Reason (R): The enzyme that adds the mannose-6-phosphate tag is defective.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Both are true and the reason gives the cause directly: without the tag the enzymes are not recognised for lysosomal delivery and follow the default route out of the cell, leaving the lysosomes full of undigested material.
