AIIMS 2014 Botany Genetics MCQ Question

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Assertion is true but Reason is false
Both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The correct answer is A because the assertion is true: a woman can sue a man for refusing to acknowledge a child with blood group O, given that the man has blood group B and the woman has blood group A. Genetically, it is possible for them to have a child with blood group O, as their genotypes can combine to produce an O blood type (A from the mother and B from the father can yield an O if both carry the recessive O allele). Thus, the reason accurately explains why the assertion is valid.
