The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in multiple alleles, many alleles are present in a population for a character. This is true. In genetics, multiple alleles refer to the presence of more than two alleles for a particular gene within a population. An example of this is the ABO blood group system, which is controlled by three alleles: IA, IB, and i. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that all these alleles are present in an individual. This is false. In a diploid organism, an individual can only possess two alleles for a given gene (one inherited from each parent). Therefore, while multiple alleles may exist in the population, an individual can only express one or two of those alleles. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. The presence of multiple alleles in a population does not imply that all those alleles are present in any single individual. 4. **Final Conclusion**: - Therefore, we can conclude that the assertion is true and the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: True - Reason: False
