The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason provided, we can break it down into clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that the androecium of Cucurbita is synandrous. - **Definition**: Synandrous means that the stamens (the male reproductive parts) are fused together. 2. **Identifying the Family**: Cucurbita belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae. - **Examples**: This family includes plants like pumpkin, squash, and zucchini. 3. **Analyzing the Structure**: In Cucurbita, the stamens are characterized by their unique structure where the anthers and filaments are fused. - **Key Point**: The fusion occurs along the entire length of the stamens. 4. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that both the anthers and filaments of the stamens are united throughout their whole length. - **Verification**: This statement is true as it describes the synandrous condition accurately. 5. **Conclusion**: Since both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason correctly explains the assertion, we can conclude that both statements are valid. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion (A: Androecium of Cucurbita is synandrous) and the reason (R: Anthers as well as filaments of stamens are united throughout their whole length) are true, and the reason supports the assertion. ---
