The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the two statements provided in the question, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - The statement claims that "for a particular character in an individual, each gamete gets only one allele." - According to Mendel's Law of Segregation, during the formation of gametes, the two alleles for a trait segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. - Therefore, Statement A is **correct**. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - The statement asserts that "chromatids of a chromosome split (separate) and move towards opposite poles during anaphase of mitosis." - During mitosis, specifically in the anaphase stage, sister chromatids are pulled apart and move towards opposite poles of the cell. - Hence, Statement B is also **correct**. 3. **Determine the Relationship Between the Statements**: - While both statements are correct, we need to check if Statement B is a reason for Statement A. - Statement A pertains to the process of gamete formation and allele segregation, while Statement B describes the behavior of chromatids during mitosis. - These processes are related to different aspects of cell division and inheritance, and thus, Statement B does not serve as a reason for Statement A. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are correct, but they are not directly related to each other. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are correct, but Statement B is not the reason for Statement A. ### Final Answer: - Both statements are correct, but Statement B is not the reason for Statement A.
