Assertion: Mitosis maintains the genetic simllarity of somatic cells.
Reason: Chromosomes do not undergo crossing over.

A

If both assertion `&` Reason are True `&` the Reason is a corrrect explanation of the Asserion.

B

If both Assertion `&` Reason are True but Reason is not correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is Trie but the Reason is False.

D

If both Assertion `&` Reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
Mitosis keeps all the somatic cells of an organism genetically similar, resembling the fertilised egg. Mitosis chromosomes so that all the cells of a multicellular organism have the same number and type of chromosomes. This helps in proper co-ordinate among different cells.
