The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Multiple alleles can be observed or studied in an organism when its complete genome is known." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. Multiple alleles can be studied without needing to know the complete genome of an organism. A classic example is the ABO blood group system in humans, which involves three alleles: Ia, Ib, and Io. These can be studied through phenotypic expression rather than requiring the entire genome sequence. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Multiple alleles is a rare phenomenon." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also incorrect. Multiple alleles are not rare; they are quite common in various organisms. Many traits are governed by multiple alleles, and the ABO blood group is just one example of this phenomenon. ### Step 3: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are false. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and reason are false. ---
