The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Amitosis occurs with spindle formation." To evaluate this, we need to understand what amitosis is. 2. **Definition of Amitosis**: Amitosis is a type of cell division characterized by the simple cleavage of the nucleus and division of the cytoplasm without the formation of a spindle apparatus. This means that during amitosis, chromosomes do not condense and align as they do in mitosis or meiosis. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: Since amitosis does not involve spindle formation, the assertion is incorrect. Amitosis occurs without spindle formation. 4. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that "Amitosis occurs during the formation of gametes in diploid organisms." We need to analyze whether this statement is true. 5. **Amitosis and Gamete Formation**: Amitosis is not the process that occurs during gamete formation. Instead, gametes are formed through meiosis, which is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half and involves two rounds of division. 6. **Evaluating the Reason**: Since amitosis does not occur during the formation of gametes in diploid organisms (it occurs in polyploid organisms), the reason is also incorrect. 7. **Conclusion**: Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is that both A and R are wrong. ### Final Answer: Both A and R are wrong. ---
