The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
The hybridoma cells are shifted to a medium
deficient in nutrient which cannot be synthesized by myeloma cells so that myleoma cells could be removed or hybridoma cells could be purified. The unfused myleoma cells die while hybridoma cells survive. The hybridoma cells are allowed to multiply separately.
