The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "In telophase, chromosomes that have reached their respective poles lose their individuality." - During telophase, the chromatids (which are the duplicated chromosomes) arrive at the poles of the cell. At this stage, they begin to decondense back into chromatin. This means they no longer appear as distinct chromosomes, hence they lose their individuality. - **Conclusion**: The assertion is true. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "In normal condition (Interphase), genetic material exists in the form of chromatin material instead of chromosome." - During interphase, the genetic material is indeed in the form of chromatin, which is less condensed and allows for gene expression and DNA replication. This is a normal state for the cell when it is not dividing. - **Conclusion**: The reason is also true. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion explains a phenomenon occurring during telophase, while the reason explains the state of genetic material during interphase. - Although both statements are true, the reason does not directly explain the assertion. The loss of individuality of chromosomes in telophase is due to the physical separation of chromatids and their decondensation, not directly because of the chromatin state in interphase. - **Conclusion**: The reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Final Evaluation**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, the correct answer is that both are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.** ---

In which stage, the chromosomes that have reached their respective poles decondense and lose their individuality

Assertion: Crossing over leads to recombination of genetic material on the two chromosomes. Reason: Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between two homologous chromosomes.

Assertion : Crossing over take place during pachytene stage. Reason : It is a process of interchange of chromatid material between non sister chromatid of homologous chromosomes.

Assertion : Translocations involve shifting, not deleting or adding genetic material which can cause chromosomal defects when gametes are formed. Reason : Translocation involve transfers of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.

Assertion (A) :- polytene chromosomes have a high amount of DNA . Reason( R) :- poly chromosomes are formed by repeated chroomtids.

Assertion (A). Events in pachytene play a key role in evolutionary changes in organisms Reason (R) .Exchange of genetic material takes place between sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes

Assertion (A): A karyotype of 45 with X0 is the key genetic diagnostic point incase of an individual suffering from the Turner's syndrome. Reason ( R): It is caused due to the presence of an additional copy of the chromosome number 21.

Assertion.Shortening of chromosomes in prophase proves advantageous in anaphase. Reason.It is easier for short chromosomes to move to the opposite poles through the cytoplasm than it is for long.twisted interphase chromosomes.

Negative Refractive Index: One of the most fundamental phenomena in optics is refraction. When a beam of light crosses the interface between two different materials, its path is altered depending on the difference in the refractive indices of the materials. The greater the difference, the greater the refraction of the beam. For all known naturally occurring materials the refractive index assumes only positive values. But does this have to be the case? In 1967, Soviet physicist Victor Veselago hypothesized that a material with a negative refractive index could exist without violating any of the laws of physics. Veselago predicted that this remarkable material would exhibit a wide variety of new optical phenomena. However, until recently no one had found such a material and Veselago's ideas had remained untested. Recently, meta-material samples are being tested for negative refractive index. But the experiments show significant losses and this could be an intrinsic property of negative index materials. Snell's law is satisfied for the material having a negative refractive index, but the direction of the refracted light ray is 'mirror-imaged about the normal to the surface. There will be an interesting difference in image formation if a vessel is filled with "negative water" having refractive index - 1.33 instead of regular water having refractive index 1.33. Say, there is a fish in a vessel filled with negative water. The position of the fish is such that the observer cannot see it due to normal refraction since the refracted ray does not reach to his eye. But due to negative refraction, he will be able to see it since the refracted ray now reaches his eye. A ray in incident on normal glass and. "Inegative glass" at an angle 60^@ . If the magnitude of angle of refraction in normal glass is 45^@ then, what will be the magnitude of angle of refraction in the "negative glass"?
