| Assertion: Mass selection is useful in homozygous plants.
Reasoning:: Mass selection does not work with cross-pollinated plants. |
Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A. Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct. If both Assertion (A) and Reasoning are false (F ) |
| Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A. |
| Mass selection is useful in self pollinated plants since they are usually homozygous and retains the selected traits in the progeny. However, cross pollinated plants are usually heterozygous. Their phenotypic expression is largely due to their hybrid vigour or heterozygous nature. Mass selection of such plants fails in subsequent generations. |
