AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Mutation results in changes in the genotype and the phenotype of an organism." - This means that mutations can alter the genetic makeup (genotype) and the observable traits (phenotype) of an organism. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is that "Mutation is a phenomenon which results in alternation of DNA sequences." - This indicates that mutations involve changes in the DNA sequences, which can lead to changes in the proteins produced and, consequently, the traits of the organism. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - To determine if the reason supports the assertion, we need to recognize that changes in DNA sequences (mutations) can lead to changes in the proteins that are produced. - These changes in proteins can affect the organism's traits (phenotype) and genetic makeup (genotype). 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true. - The reason correctly explains why the assertion is true, as mutations in DNA sequences can indeed lead to changes in both genotype and phenotype. 5. **Final Answer**: - Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
