AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Apomixis**: - Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction in plants where seeds are produced without fertilization. This means that the ovule develops into a seed without the fusion of male and female gametes. 2. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "in apomixis, plants of new genetic sequence are produced." This is incorrect because apomixis results in the formation of seeds that are genetically identical to the parent plant. Therefore, the plants produced through apomixis have the same genetic sequence as the parent. 3. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states that "in apomixis, two individuals of the same genetic sequence meet." This is also incorrect because apomixis involves only one parent plant. There is no meeting of two individuals; hence, this statement does not accurately describe the process of apomixis. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we conclude that neither statement is true, and the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
