I: | New cultivars produced by plant breeding are first evaluated in research fields and their performance is recorded under ideal fertiliser application, irrigation, and other crop management practices. |
II: | After evaluation in research fields, the new cultivars are tested in farmers’ fields for at least three growing seasons at several locations in the country. |

Assertion (A): | Breeding and development of cultivars resistant to disease enhance food production in areas where the disease is prevalent. |
Reason (R): | Resistance to a disease is determined by the genetic constitution of the host plant. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |

Assertion (A): | Crop improvement by mutation breeding is based on induced mutations. |
Reason (R): | Mutation creates genetic variations through changes in the base sequence within genes resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the parental type. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
