The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given question regarding the assertion and reason, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own genome." - This is true. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are known as semi-autonomous organelles because they possess their own DNA, which is circular in nature, unlike the linear DNA found in the nucleus. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi body are the cell organelles which have their own DNA." - This is false. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus do not have their own DNA. They are not considered semi-autonomous organelles and do not possess the capability to replicate independently or synthesize their own proteins. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - The assertion is true, while the reason is false. - Therefore, the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct evaluation is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. Hence, the answer to the question is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: True - Reason: False
