The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we will break down the concepts step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Most of the X-linked disorders cannot be eliminated easily from nature and our gene pool." - X-linked disorders are genetic conditions that are associated with genes located on the X chromosome. These disorders include conditions like hemophilia and color blindness. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is that "X-linked disorders are due to recessive genes." - In genetics, recessive genes require two copies (one from each parent) to express the trait in females (XX), whereas males (XY) have only one X chromosome. Therefore, if a male inherits a recessive allele for an X-linked disorder, he will express that disorder because he does not have a second X chromosome to mask the effect. 3. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - The assertion is true because X-linked disorders are often more prevalent in males due to their single X chromosome. Since these disorders are recessive, they can persist in the population, especially since females can be carriers (having one normal and one affected allele) without expressing the disorder. 4. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason is also true because it correctly identifies that X-linked disorders are typically caused by recessive alleles. This characteristic contributes to the difficulty in eliminating these disorders from the gene pool. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: True - **Conclusion**: The reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
