The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Gregor Mendel is also known as the 'father of biology'." - This statement is incorrect because Gregor Mendel is actually known as the "father of genetics." The title "father of biology" is more appropriately attributed to Aristotle. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "He gave the law of Epistasis." - This statement is also incorrect. The law of epistasis was not formulated by Gregor Mendel; it was introduced by William Bateson. Mendel is known for his laws of inheritance, which include the law of dominance, law of segregation, and law of independent assortment. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, the correct option is that both the assertion and the reason are wrong. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are wrong. ---
