The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "cleavage in human zygote is holoblastic." - Holoblastic cleavage refers to a type of cleavage where the entire egg is divided into smaller cells (blastomeres). In humans, the cleavage is indeed holoblastic, meaning that the zygote divides completely into smaller cells. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "its egg contains an enormous quantity of yolk." - In humans, the amount of yolk in the egg is moderate, not enormous. The presence of yolk affects the type of cleavage; eggs with a large amount of yolk typically undergo meroblastic cleavage, where only part of the egg divides. Since human eggs have a moderate amount of yolk, this statement is incorrect. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Truth of the Assertion and Reason - The assertion is true: cleavage in the human zygote is indeed holoblastic. - The reason is false: the human egg does not contain an enormous quantity of yolk. ### Step 4: Determine the Correct Option Based on the evaluation: - Option A: Both assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. (False) - Option B: Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. (False) - Option C: Assertion is true but the reason is false. (True) - Option D: Both assertion and reason are false. (False) Thus, the correct answer is **Option C**: Assertion is true but the reason is false.
