Assertion(A): The allele for tallness is dominant over dwarfness in plants.
Reason(R): The genotypes TT and Tt give the same phenotype.
Choices for Assertions and reasons:
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Assertion(A): The plants with two different alleles for one character are called heterozygous.
Reason(R): These alleles express contrasting traits.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.
