Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

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

Answer

(2) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Solution

In Mendel's monohybrid cross between tall and dwarf pea plants, the F1 progeny were all tall because the allele for tallness is dominant over the recessive dwarf allele. Hence, both A and R are correct and R explains A.

Answer: (2)
