The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion - The assertion states: "During meiosis-I there is no division of chromosome." - In meiosis-I, homologous chromosomes are separated, but the chromatids remain attached. Therefore, the assertion is correct. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason - The reason states: "During meiosis-I there is separation and movement of homologous chromosomes in order to reduce the number of chromosomes half in daughter cells." - This statement is also correct. During meiosis-I, homologous chromosomes are separated, which reduces the chromosome number in the daughter cells from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship - The assertion is true, and the reason is true as well. Furthermore, the reason correctly explains the assertion because the separation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis-I leads to the reduction of chromosome number. ### Conclusion - Since both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion, the correct answer is: **Option 1: Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.** ---
