C

If Assertion is True but the Reason is Flase.

D

If both Assertion & Reason are false.

The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break down the concepts of dominance, gene products, and phenotypes step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dominance**: - Dominance refers to the relationship between alleles of a gene, where one allele can mask the expression of another in a heterozygous condition. 2. **Assertion Analysis**: - The assertion states that "Dominance is not an autonomous feature of a gene or the product that it has information for." This means that dominance is not an inherent quality of the gene itself or its product (protein). Instead, it is influenced by various factors. 3. **Reason Analysis**: - The reason states that "Dominance depends much on the gene product and the production of a particular phenotype from this product." This indicates that the expression of dominance is contingent on the specific protein produced by the gene and how that protein contributes to the observable traits (phenotype). 4. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - Both the assertion and reason are true. The assertion correctly identifies that dominance is not solely a characteristic of the gene or its product, while the reason explains that dominance is influenced by the gene product and the resulting phenotype. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion, we conclude that the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
