The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understand the Assertion** - The assertion states that the gene gun method is a direct gene transfer method. - This means that the method involves transferring genetic material directly into the target cells without any intermediary. **Step 2: Understand the Reason** - The reason provided states that in this method, a foreign gene is directly introduced into the target cell without involving vector DNA. - A vector DNA is typically a carrier used to deliver genetic material into a cell. The absence of a vector indicates a direct method of gene transfer. **Step 3: Analyze the Gene Gun Method** - The gene gun method, also known as the biolistic method, uses high-velocity microprojectiles (often gold or tungsten particles) coated with DNA. - These particles are shot into the target cells, allowing the foreign DNA to enter the cells directly. **Step 4: Evaluate the Truth of the Assertion and Reason** - Since the gene gun method does indeed transfer genes directly into cells without the use of a vector, both the assertion and the reason are true. - Additionally, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true, as it describes the mechanism of the gene gun method. **Step 5: Conclusion** - Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: True - **Conclusion**: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ---
