Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
According to principle of segregation (first law of Mendelism), the two
factors of a character which remain together in an individual do not get
mixed up but keep their identity distinct, separate at the time
of gametogenesis or sporogenesis, get randomly distributed to different
offspring as per the principle of probability. Gametes carry a single
factor or allele for a trait. The two Mendelian factors present in the
Fl plants segregate during gamete formation. The principle of gametes
because segregation of the two Mendelian factors of a trait results in
gametes receiving only one factor out of a pair. As a result gametes are
always pure for a character.So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
