Assertion (A): The electrolysis of NaCl ...

Assertion `(A):` The electrolysis of `NaCl` solution gives `H_(2)(g)` at cathode and `Cl_(2)(g)` at anode.
Reason `(R) : Cl_(2)` has higher oxidation potential than `H_(2)O`

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
When an offspring is produced by a single parent without the involvement of gamete formation, the reproduction is called asexual reproduction. As a result, the offspring produced are not only similar to one another but are also exact copies of their parent. Such a group of morphologically and genetically similar individuals are called clones.
