Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Parthenogenesis is development of an egg (ovum) into a complete individual without fertilisation. It occurs in its natural course in many invertebrates like insects, arachnids, some vertebrates and some birds (e.g., turkeys). It eliminates variations in a population so it does not play any role in organic evolution.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
