The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we will break down the definitions and characteristics of autopolypoids and allopolypoids step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Autopolyploids**: - **Definition**: Autopolyploids are organisms that have more than two sets of chromosomes derived from the same species. - **Key Point**: They have multiple copies of a single genome, which means that all chromosome sets are identical and come from one species. 2. **Understanding Allopolyploids**: - **Definition**: Allopolyploids are organisms that have more than two sets of chromosomes, but these sets come from different species. - **Key Point**: They contain more than one type of genome, with each type having at least two copies. This means that the genetic material is a combination of genomes from different species. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - The assertion states: "Autopolyploids have more than two copies of a single genome." - Based on our understanding, this statement is **true** because autopolyploids do indeed have multiple copies of the same genome. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason states: "Allopolyploids contain more than one type of genome, each with at least two copies." - This statement is also **true** as allopolyploids consist of different genomes, each present in multiple copies. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true statements. - However, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion because the nature of the genomes in autopolyploids and allopolyploids is fundamentally different. ### Final Answer: - The answer is **B**: Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
