Assertion : At `F_(2)` stage in monohybrid cross, both parental traits are expressed in the proportion of `3:1`
Reason : The contrasting parental traits show blending at `F_(2)` stage

A

If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and the reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

C

Assertion : Phenotypic superiority of hybrid over either of its parents in one or more traits is termed hybrid vigour. Reason : Suppression of expression of recessive harmful genes occurs in heterozygotes.

Assertion: The results of the reciprocal crosses are the same. Reason: When the parental types are reversed and matings are done in both ways, it is called reciprocal cross.
