Assertion Darwin regarded discontinuous variations more important than continuous variations.
Reason The survial of the fittest is a result of selection and proliferation of fittest organisms.

A

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

C

Assertion is true, but Reason is false

D

Assertion is false, but Reason is true

The correct Answer is:
d
The survival of the fittest is a results of selectionand proliferation of only those organisms, which were most suitably adapted to the environment and most successful in mating. Darwin regarded continuous variation to be more important because discontinuous variations being most harmful would not be selected again.

Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same: Mutation is sudden, discontinuous variation in genotype of an organism due to a change in its chromosomes and genes. Variation in DNA is a result of mutation. It is of three types : Gene mutation, chromosomal aberrations and gametic mutation. Gametic mutation is a change in chromosome number that brings effect on the phenotype, it is of two type - aneuploidy and euploidy. Mutation can be artificially produced by certain agents called mutagen. There are two major types of mutagens: physical and chemical mutagen. Which is the main category of mutation ?
