The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that in Volvox, heterogametes are formed in the sexual life cycle. - **Explanation**: Volvox is a type of green algae that reproduces both asexually and sexually. In its sexual reproduction, it produces two types of gametes: male and female. The male gamete is smaller and motile, while the female gamete is larger and non-motile. Therefore, the assertion is true. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that non-motile (male) gametes are transferred by water. - **Explanation**: In Volvox, the male gametes are actually motile, not non-motile. They possess flagella which allow them to swim through water to reach the non-motile female gametes. Thus, this statement is false. 3. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false. ---
