Question

Assertion (A): The two alleles of a gene segregate from each other into the gametes; so half the gametes carry one allele of the pair and the other half carry the other allele. Reason (R): The union of one gamete from each parent to form the zygote is random.

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

Hint:

Segregation = Making the cards (Gametes); Random Union = Dealing the cards (Fertilisation).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
