Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Species are groups of organisms with similar characters and capable of interbreeding among themselves. They are not necessarily isolated from other such groups (other species ) as except for autotrophic organisms, each species requires at least another species it can feed on.
Reproductive isolation prevents members of one species to mate and produce offspring with another species. This rather prevents the bringing of distinctive morphological characters.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
