The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "Heritable changes are also called mutations." - This is true because mutations are indeed changes in the genetic material that can be passed down from one generation to the next. 2. **Understanding Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "Mutations are sudden changes in chromosomal DNA." - This is also true. Mutations can occur suddenly due to various factors, such as environmental influences or errors during DNA replication. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Now, we need to determine if the reason (R) correctly explains the assertion (A). - Since mutations are defined as heritable changes and the reason explains that these changes are sudden alterations in DNA, it logically follows that the reason supports the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both A and R are true, and R provides the correct explanation for A. - Therefore, the correct answer is option i) If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. ### Final Answer: i) If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. ---
