The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that a true breeding line shows stable trait inheritance and expression for several generations. - This means that when a plant or organism is true breeding, it consistently passes on the same traits to its offspring over multiple generations. 2. **Defining True Breeding Line**: - A true breeding line refers to a group of organisms that, when self-pollinated or bred together, produce offspring that are identical to themselves in terms of specific traits. - For example, if a plant is true breeding for flower color (e.g., purple), all offspring produced from self-pollination will also have purple flowers. 3. **Mendel's Contribution**: - Gregor Mendel, known as the father of genetics, studied true breeding lines in pea plants. - He observed that traits remained stable and consistent across generations when plants were self-pollinated. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason states that a true breeding line undergoes continuous cross-pollination. - This is incorrect because true breeding lines are established through self-pollination, not cross-pollination. Cross-pollination introduces genetic variation, which is not characteristic of true breeding lines. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true (true breeding lines show stable trait inheritance), but the reason is false (true breeding lines do not undergo continuous cross-pollination), the correct answer is that only the assertion is true. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false. Therefore, the correct option is that only the assertion is true. ---
