B

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

If both Assertion and Reasom are false.

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "few of the repetitive sequences are called jumping genes." - Jumping genes, also known as transposons, are indeed a type of repetitive DNA sequence that can move within the genome. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is "They jump at place of location and do not change their position." - This statement is misleading because jumping genes (transposons) actually do change their position within the genome. They can move from one location to another. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - Since jumping genes are classified as repetitive sequences that can move, the assertion is **true**. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason incorrectly describes the behavior of jumping genes. They do not remain in one place; instead, they can relocate within the genome. Therefore, the reason is **false**. 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Thus, the correct relationship is that the assertion is correct, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: False - **Explanation**: The assertion is correct because jumping genes are indeed repetitive sequences that can move. However, the reason is incorrect because jumping genes do change their position within the genome. ---
