Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Genetically modified (GM) organisms are those organisms that have their
genetic material modified to meet some desired conditions. They
generally carry a foreign gene in their DNA. GM salmon was the
first transgenic animal for food production. It was produced by fusion of
normal ova (eggs) with genetically modified sperms. The zygotes with
modified gene developed into embryos which gave rise to much bigger
adults than either parent thus have greater food value. It is achieved
by addition of a gene that codes for the growth hormone that allows the
first fish to grow larger more rapidly than the non-transgenic salmon.So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
