Assertion: Liverwords fall to spread to a newlocality through fragmentation.
Reason: Gemmae are helpful in propagating livewrots in different locality.

A

If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Fragmentation leads to increase in the number of plants in a locality but it does not permiet spread of the plant to an entirely new locality. Being small and sufficnetly buoyant, gemmae are easily carried. When detached. They spread by water and widn currents to new habitats, where each grows into a new individual immediately.
