    Assertion [A] A pair of contrasting characters is termed as allele.
    Reason [R] Two alleles of a gene express equally in an individual.

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

    C) A is true, but R is false

    D) A is false, but R is true

    Correct Answer: C

    [c] A is true, but R is false. R can be corrected as some genes have just a few alleles, but others have many. A dominant allele is one that is expressed to a greater degree than the other alleles.
