Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Haploid plants can be produced through in vitro culture of plant gametic cells.
Reason (R): Accurate phenotyping in plant breeding with double haploidy is possible because of their segregating nature.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• 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:

Doubled Haploids are used specifically because they STOP segregation. They lock the plant's traits in place permanently.

Answer 1
