Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Heterosporous species of pteridophytes are dioecious. Reason (R) : The gametophyte develops within the spore wall in heterosporous species. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Hetero means different. Different types of spores automatically give rise to two different homes for gametes (Dioecious), while their development remains cozy inside the original spore walls (Endosporic).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
