The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the assertion and reason provided, we can break down the statements and analyze them step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Seeds do not sprout when ABA is overcome by Gibberellins." - Here, ABA (Abscisic Acid) is known as a plant hormone that inhibits seed germination. Gibberellins (GA), on the other hand, promote seed germination. - Therefore, the assertion is incorrect because if Gibberellins are present and effectively overcoming ABA, seeds should sprout. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "GA inhibits protein and RNA synthesis." - This statement is also incorrect. Gibberellins actually promote the synthesis of proteins and RNA, particularly those involved in the germination process, such as enzymes that break down stored food in seeds. - Therefore, this reason does not support the assertion. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we can conclude that the correct answer to the question is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false.
