Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Polygenic traits are quantitative because they involve multiple genes. |
| Reason (R): | In such traits the genes involved have more than two alleles. |
| 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. |

Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | The underlying mechanism of pleiotropy in most cases is the effect of a gene on metabolic pathways which contribute towards different phenotypes. |
| Reason (R): | Pleiotropy occurs when one gene influences two or more seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. |
| 1. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
| 2. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
