Reason : Back cross is rhe cross between `F_(1)` progeny and the double recessive genotype

A

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

B

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

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that a test cross is the cross between the F1 progeny and either of the parental types. - **Evaluation**: This is incorrect because a test cross specifically involves crossing the F1 progeny with a homozygous recessive parent to determine the genotype of the dominant parent. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that a back cross is the cross between the F1 progeny and the double recessive genotype. - **Evaluation**: This is also incorrect. A back cross refers to crossing the F1 progeny with one of the original parental types (which can be either dominant or recessive), not specifically with the double recessive genotype. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we conclude that the correct answer is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
