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 "XO type, XY type & ZW type are examples of male heterogamety." - Male heterogamety refers to a situation where males produce two different types of gametes (sperms) with different sex chromosomes. - In the XO system (e.g., grasshoppers), males have one X chromosome (XO) and females have two (XX). This is indeed an example of male heterogamety. - In the XY system (e.g., humans), males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). This is also an example of male heterogamety. - However, in the ZW system (e.g., birds), males are ZZ and females are ZW. Here, males do not exhibit heterogamety; instead, females do. - Therefore, the assertion is **partially correct** because it correctly identifies XO and XY as examples of male heterogamety but incorrectly includes ZW. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Male produces two types of sperms." - This is true for both the XO and XY systems, where males produce two types of gametes (sperms) - one with X and one with Y in XY, and one with X in XO. - However, the assertion's inclusion of ZW complicates the reasoning, as males in the ZW system do not produce two types of gametes. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is not entirely correct (due to the inclusion of ZW), and while the reason is true for some systems, it does not fully support the assertion. - Thus, both the assertion and the reason are **incorrect** in the context provided. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ---
