Consider the two statements:
Statement I: When Mendel self-pollinated the F1 plants of a monohybrid cross he found that in the F2 generation some of the offspring expressed the character that was not seen in the F1 generation.
Statement II: Mendel found that in a monohybrid cross the F1 always resembled either one of the parents.
1. Statement I is correct, Statement II is correct and Statement II explains Statement I
2. Statement I is correct, Statement II is correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I
3. Statement I is correct, Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect, Statement II is correct

The law of segregation can be explained by:
I. the fact that the alleles do not show any blending and that both the characters are recovered as such in the F2 generation though one of these is not seen at the F1 stage.
II. the fact that though the parents contain two alleles during gamete formation, the factors or alleles of a pair segregate from each other such that a gamete receives only one of the two factors.

1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Assertion(A): The plants with two different alleles for one character are called heterozygous.
Reason(R): These alleles express contrasting traits.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.
