The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Algae show only anisogamous type of reproduction." - Anisogamy refers to a type of sexual reproduction involving gametes that are of different sizes and shapes. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - Algae can reproduce in three ways: vegetative, asexual, and sexual. - In sexual reproduction, algae can exhibit isogamous (same size and shape gametes), anisogamous (different size and shape gametes), and oogamous (large non-motile female gamete and small motile male gamete) types of reproduction. - Therefore, the assertion is **false** because algae do not show only anisogamous reproduction. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "In algae, gametes can never be non-flagellated." - This implies that all gametes produced by algae are motile (flagellated). 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - In algae, while many gametes are flagellated, some gametes can indeed be non-flagellated, especially in isogamous and oogamous types of reproduction. - Thus, the reason is also **false**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false. ---

To solve the question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Algae show only anisogamous type of reproduction." - Anisogamy refers to a type of sexual reproduction involving gametes that are of different sizes and shapes. ...
