Assertion (A): Cross of F(1) individual ...

Assertion (A): Cross of `F_(1)` individual with recessive homozygous parent is test cross.
Reason ( R): No recessive individual are obtained in the monohybrid test cross progeny.

A

Both assertion (A) and reason ( R) are true and reason ( R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

B

Both assertion (A) and reason ( R) are true but reason ( R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).

C

Assertion (A) is true but reason ( R) is false.

D

Assertion (A) is false but reason ( R) is true.

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that a cross of F1 individuals with a recessive homozygous parent is a test cross. - A test cross is performed to determine the genotype of an individual showing a dominant phenotype. This is done by crossing it with a homozygous recessive individual. 2. **Evaluating the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that no recessive individuals are obtained in the monohybrid test cross progeny. - In a monohybrid test cross, if the F1 individual is heterozygous (e.g., Tt) and is crossed with a homozygous recessive (tt), the offspring can be either dominant (Tt) or recessive (tt). Thus, recessive individuals can indeed be produced. 3. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is correct because a test cross is defined as the cross between a dominant phenotype and a homozygous recessive individual. - The reason is incorrect because recessive individuals can be obtained in a monohybrid test cross when the F1 individual is heterozygous. 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the correct answer is: Assertion (A) is true, and Reason (R) is false.
