Principles of Inheritance and Variation

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): Mendel's law of independent assortment does not hold good for genes that are located closely on the same chromosome.

Reason (R): Closely located genes assort independently.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A.(A) is not correct but (R) is correct
  2. B.Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  3. C.Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  4. D.(A) is correct but (R) is not correct✓

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
