The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that "isogametes are formed in the majority of sexually reproducing organisms." - To evaluate this, we need to define isogametes. Isogametes are gametes that are morphologically similar or identical. 2. **Understanding the Reason:** - The reason provided is that "morphologically distinct type of gametes are called isogametes." - This statement is incorrect because morphologically distinct gametes are known as anisogametes, not isogametes. 3. **Analyzing the Types of Gametes:** - In sexually reproducing organisms, there are typically two types of gametes: - **Heterogametes (or Anisogametes):** These are morphologically distinct gametes (e.g., sperm and egg). - **Isogametes:** These are morphologically similar gametes and are usually found in organisms that reproduce asexually. 4. **Conclusion on the Assertion and Reason:** - Since the assertion is incorrect (isogametes are not formed in the majority of sexually reproducing organisms) and the reason is also incorrect (the definition of isogametes is wrong), we conclude that both the assertion and the reason are false. 5. **Final Answer:** - Therefore, the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are false.

Assertion : The zygote developed from sexual reproduction is diploid. Reason : In sexual repoduction, haploid gametes fuse and form zygote.

Assertion : In plants, apomixis is a form of asexual reporduction that minics sexual reproduction. Reason : Apomixis involves the production of seeds without the fusion of gametes.

Assertion: lonising radiations are harmful for the living organisms. Reason: They form toxic photo products in the cells.

Assertion :- Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction. Reason :- In apomixis there is formation of seed without fertilisation.

Assertion: In an organism, male gametes are always produced in large number as compared to female gametes. Reason: Male gametes have to cover a reasonable distance to reach the female gametes.

Assertion : Surgical method blocks gamete transport and thereby prevents conception. Reason : Surgical method used in males for this purpose is called vasectomy.
