The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that the Indian Government has established organizations like the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) to oversee the validity of genetic modification (GM) research and ensure the safety of introducing GM organisms for public use. - This statement is correct. The GEAC is indeed responsible for evaluating GM research and the implications of introducing GM organisms into the environment. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason provided states that genetic modification of organisms can lead to unpredictable results when these organisms are introduced into the ecosystem. - This statement is also correct. Introducing GM organisms can have unforeseen consequences, such as disrupting local ecosystems, affecting biodiversity, or altering food chains. 3. **Connecting the Assertion and Reason**: - Both the assertion and reason are correct. The establishment of GEAC is necessary because of the potential unpredictable effects of GM organisms on ecosystems. - The reason explains why there is a need for regulatory bodies like GEAC, as the introduction of GM organisms can pose risks that need to be managed. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason provides a valid explanation for the assertion, we conclude that the answer to the question is that both statements are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are correct, and the reason (R) is a correct explanation of the assertion (A). ---
