    Assertion (A) Somoclonal variations may be present in plants produced from callus. Reason (R) Somoclonal variations are caused due to recombination during meiosis. The correct answer is

    A)  Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of

    B)  Both (A) and (R) are true. bur (R) is not die correct explanation of
