Question

Assertion (A): All copulations cannot lead to fertilisation and pregnancy
Reason (R): Fertilisation can only occur if the ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to the ampullary region

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

All copulations cannot lead to fertilisation and pregnancy because it requires certain factors like proper maturation of the sperm and the ovum.

Also, fertilisation occurs only if the ovum and the sperm are transported simultaneously to the ampullary region of the fallopian tube.

Therefore, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
