1.	Assertion : Asexual reproduction is more important with regard to biotehnology. Reason : Asecual reproduction preserves the genetic information while sexual reporduction permits variations.
Answer» Correct Answer - A Biotechnology studies need a quick growing population of genetically unfiorm individuals so that similar changes may be produced in all the genetically engineered organism. Hence, asexual reporudction, which is a quicker and faster method of reproduction and preserves the genetic information of individuals, is better suited for biotechnological experiments. For example, if an organism that has been incorporated with a gene for diease resistance reproduces sexually, then recombination adn segregation of genes will occur during gamete formation. Hence, some of the progeny may lose the gene of diease resistance incorporated into the parent. On the other hand, if the genetically engineered organism reproduces asexually, then all its progeny will invariably contain the gene for diease resistance.
