explanation of (A).
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct
explanation of (A).
(a) is true statements but (R) is false.
Both (A) and (R) are false
Assertion: Evolution is not a directed process in the
sense of determination.
Reason : It is a stochastic process based on chance
events in nature and chance mutation in the
organisms.

Assertion: Any population has built in variation in
characteristics.
Reason : All the existing life forms share similarities
and share common ancestors.

Assertion: RNA was the first genetic material

that essential life process evolved around RNA.

Assertion: Evolution is not occuring at present.
Reason : Evolution takes a very long time to occur.

function and hence having similarity.

12. Assertion: The rate of appearance of new forms is
linked to the life cycle or the life span of organisms.
Reason : The organism with short life span have
ability to produce more progenies in shorter time and
that have chance to more exposure with nature.

Assertion: A single mutation may produce a new
species.
Reason : Mutation may cause major variation in
genetic material and these are inheritable.

Reason : Interspecific hybrids receive chromosomes
from two different species.

Assertion: The earliest organisms, were anaerobes,
having arisen in a sea of organic molecules and were
chemoheterotrophs.
Reason : Before the supply of organic molecules was
exhasted, some of the heterotrophs might have
evolved into autotrophs.
