  1. Q4. Assertion: humans have a complete double circulation. Reason: oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are pumped out of the two ventricles without mixing. Are both true, and does the reason explain the assertion?

    Both are true. Two linked pulmonary and systemic circuits account for double circulation, while separation of the ventricular outflows explains complete separation (NCERT pages 197 and 204).
