The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: The assertion states that "Gametes are formed independently either from diploid or haploid parents. Gametes are always haploid." - This statement is true. Gametes (sperm and egg) are indeed formed from both diploid (2n) and haploid (n) parents, and they are always haploid. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: The reason states that "In diploid parents, gametes are formed through mitosis and meiosis while in haploid parents it occurs through meiosis." - This statement is false. In diploid organisms, gametes are formed through meiosis, not mitosis. In haploid organisms, gametes are formed by mitosis, as they already have a single set of chromosomes. 3. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the correct relationship between the two statements is that the assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect. 4. **Final Answer**: The correct option is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false.
