The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, let's break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "M-phase is the most dramatic period of the cell cycle." - The M-phase, or mitotic phase, is indeed known for the significant changes that occur as the cell prepares to divide. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "It involves a major reorganization of virtually all components of the cell." - During the M-phase, several key processes occur, including the condensation of chromatin into chromosomes, breakdown of the nuclear envelope, and the reorganization of the cytoskeleton to form the mitotic spindle. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion is true because the M-phase is characterized by dramatic changes. - The reason is also true because the M-phase does involve a major reorganization of cellular components, including DNA and organelles. 4. **Determining the Correct Option**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains why the M-phase is considered the most dramatic period, the correct option is: - **Option A**: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option A**: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
