Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

Clitoris of female is the small, spongy and erectile structure which hangs freely from the front end of vulva. It represents the underdeveloped penis. Whereas penis is a finger-like cylindrical outgrowth of abdomen projecting in between the scrotal sacs. Clitoris and penis both originate from the same origin, therefore are homologous. Homologous organs are those organs which have the same origin and may or may not have the same function. Clitoris and penis both are the reproductive organs present in female and male respectively. They are originated from the mesoderm layer and both are supplied with the nerves and blood vessels.
