b) A is true but R is false

c) A is false but R is true

d) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer

The assertion and reasoning given are true since chromosomes are hereditary substances that are present in the nucleus that is responsible for transferring the characteristics from the parent organism to the offspring.

But (R) is not the correct explanation of A.

This is because the function of chromosomes is given in (A) which states that are responsible for carrying and transferring the characteristics from the parents to the offspring. The (R) states the location of the chromosomes that has nothing to do with the function.

Therefore we can say that the answer would be D) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
