The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question regarding earthworms, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "A mutual exchange of sperms occurs between the earthworms during mating." - **Explanation**: Earthworms are hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs. During mating, two earthworms align themselves ventrally and exchange packets of sperm called spermatophores. This process is indeed a mutual exchange of sperm. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Mature sperms, egg cells, and nutritive fluid are deposited in cocoons produced by gland cells of clitellum." - **Explanation**: After mating, the earthworm produces a cocoon in which the fertilized eggs and sperm are deposited. The clitellum, a specialized glandular section of the earthworm, secretes this cocoon. The mature sperm fertilizes the egg cells within the cocoon, and the cocoon is then deposited in the soil. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason Now, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - **Analysis**: While both statements are true, the reason does not directly explain the assertion. The assertion focuses on the mutual exchange of sperm during mating, while the reason describes what happens after mating (the deposition of eggs and sperm in cocoons). Therefore, the reason does not serve as a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Both are true, but reason is not the correct explanation.** ---
