The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states: "Translocation is an illegal crossing over." - Translocation refers to the process where segments of chromosomes are exchanged between non-homologous chromosomes. - In the context of genetics, "illegal" suggests that this process is not a normal or typical occurrence, unlike crossing over which occurs during meiosis. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states: "Translocation is the exchange of chromosomal segments between non-homologous chromosomes." - This statement accurately describes translocation. It involves the exchange of genetic material between chromosomes that are not homologous, meaning they do not have the same structure or genetic content. ### Step 3: Evaluating the Assertion and Reason - The assertion is true because translocation is indeed considered an "illegal" form of crossing over since it occurs between non-homologous chromosomes. - The reason is also true as it correctly describes what translocation is. ### Step 4: Analyzing the Relationship between Assertion and Reason - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion, we conclude that the assertion is supported by the reason. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ---
