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 "The final stage of meiotic prophase I is diplotene." - In reality, the final stage of meiotic prophase I is actually diakinesis, not diplotene. Therefore, this assertion is **false**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Diplotene is marked by terminalisation of chiasmata." - While it is true that diplotene is characterized by the presence of chiasmata, the assertion itself is incorrect. Thus, the reason does not validate the assertion. However, the statement itself about diplotene is **true**. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, we can conclude that the reason does not serve as a correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the evaluation, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false.
