Assertion (A): Reproduction, like any other life process, is essential to maintain the life of an individual organism.

Reason (R) : Reproduction involves creation of a DNA copy and additional cellular apparatus by the cell involved in the process.

Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option from (A), (B), (C) and (D) given below:

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Solution:

Assertion (A): Reproduction is not necessary for the survival of an individual organism. An organism can live its entire life without reproducing. Reproduction is important for the continuity of the species, not for maintaining the life of one individual.

Reason (R): Reproduction does involve the creation of a DNA copy and additional cellular apparatus by the cell involved in the process.

Therefore, Assertion is false but Reason is true.
