Solution
A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and usually produces genetically similar offspring, so variation is minimum. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.
All variations do not have an equal chance of survival. Variations favourable to the environment have a better chance of survival. Therefore, Reason (R) is false.
Hence, A is true but R is false.
