The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we will break down the information step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that about 3300 books, each containing 1000 pages, are required to store the sequences of the human genome in typed form. - **Calculation of Total Pages**: - Each book has 1000 pages. - Therefore, 3300 books would have: \[ 3300 \text{ books} \times 1000 \text{ pages/book} = 3,300,000 \text{ pages} \] ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason provided states that the human genome is said to have approximately 9 billion base pairs. - **Correcting the Reason**: - The actual number of base pairs in the human genome is approximately 3 billion (3 x 10^9), not 9 billion. ### Step 3: Evaluating the Assertion and Reason - The assertion is true because it is based on the estimated number of pages needed to store the human genome. - The reason is false because it incorrectly states the number of base pairs in the human genome. ### Conclusion - The assertion is true, while the reason is false. Therefore, the correct relationship is that the assertion is true, but the reason is not. ### Final Answer - Assertion: True - Reason: False ---
