The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that "Clones are a group of organisms of identical genotype, produced by the same kind of sexual reproduction and same sexual processes." - This statement is incorrect. Clones are actually produced through asexual reproduction, not sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and results in offspring that are genetically identical to that parent. 2. **Understanding the Reason:** - The reason provided states that "These are prepared by a group of cells descended from many cells or by inbreeding of a completely heterozygous line." - This statement is also incorrect. Clones are typically produced from a single cell or a group of genetically identical cells (homozygous lines), not from many different cells. Inbreeding of a heterozygous line would lead to genetic variation, which contradicts the definition of clones. 3. **Conclusion:** - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we conclude that the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are false. **Final Answer:** Both assertion and reason are false. ---
