The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that gynecomastia is observed in Turner’s syndrome. We need to evaluate if this statement is true or false. Turner’s syndrome is a genetic condition that affects females, characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome (45 chromosomes in total, with a karyotype of 45,X). 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason given is that this disorder is caused due to the presence of an extra copy of the X chromosome. We need to analyze this statement as well. Turner’s syndrome is not caused by an extra X chromosome; rather, it is caused by the absence of one X chromosome. 3. **Identifying the Correct Condition**: Gynecomastia (the development of breast tissue in males) is not a feature of Turner’s syndrome. Instead, it is commonly associated with Klinefelter syndrome, which is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome (47 chromosomes, XXY). 4. **Conclusion**: Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect (gynecomastia is not observed in Turner’s syndrome, and Turner’s syndrome is not caused by an extra X chromosome), we conclude that both statements are false. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are false. ---
