Question

Assertion (A): Human male is referred to as heterogametic.
Reason (R): The male produces millions of sperms of the same kind.

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

Hint:

Heterogametic = Produces different types of gametes (X and Y).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Human males are heterogametic because they produce two types of gametes: sperm carrying X chromosome and sperm carrying Y chromosome. Hence, they do not produce only one kind of sperm. Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
