Vedclass · Answer

(A) Ecotypes are populations of a species that are adapted to specific local environmental conditions. Although they possess different genotypes due to local adaptation,they belong to the same species and are therefore capable of interbreeding (interfertile). This is because they originate from the same gene pool of the species,representing different combinations of genetic variations that have been selected by natural selection in different habitats. Thus,both the Assertion and the Reason are correct,and the Reason provides a valid explanation for why ecotypes remain interfertile despite genotypic differences.
