Assertion: If the gene for an enzyme has an alteration which makes the enzyme less efficient, the amount of hormone will be less.Reason: Genes control characteristics or traits.Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertionBoth assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertionAssertion is true statement but reason is falseAssertion is false but reason is true
Solution
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Here's why:
The assertion states that if a gene for an enzyme has an alteration which makes the enzyme less efficient, the amount of hormone will be less. This is true because enzymes are proteins that catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions, including those involved in hormone production. If an enzyme is less efficient due to a gene alteration, it may not catalyze the reaction as effectively, potentially leading to less hormone production.
The reason states that genes control characteristics or traits. This is also true. Genes are segments of DNA that carry the instructions for making proteins, including enzymes. If a gene is altered, the protein it codes for (in this case, an enzyme) may also be altered, affecting its function and potentially leading to changes in traits or characteristics, such as the amount of a hormone produced.
Therefore, the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. The gene alteration affects the enzyme's efficiency, which in turn affects the amount of hormone produced, demonstrating how genes control traits or characteristics.
