Assertion : The technique of micropropagation has been used to introduce variations in the offspring. Reason : It is not possible to generate virusfree plants by micropropagation.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. DIf both assertion and reason are false.

Correct answer

D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Step-by-step solution

Micropropagation is used for rapid vegetative multiplication of plants. As the size of the propagule is minute, thus the technique is named micropropagation. Each, such plant, will be genetically identical to the parent plant. Generally, apical or axillary meristems are free from viruses. Hence, can be used as explants in tissue culture to produce virus free plants.
