Assertion : The megaspore mother cell divides mitotically to produce four spores
Reason : Megaspore mother cells are diploid and megaspore is haploid.

Options

A. Both statements are true and statement II is a correct explanation of Statement I.
B. Both statements are true but statement II is not a correct explanation of Statement I.
C. Statement I is true but statement II is wrong.
D. Statement I is wrong but statement II is true.

Answer

To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided.

### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion
The assertion states: "The megaspore mother cell divides mitotically to produce four spores."
- **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. The megaspore mother cell (MMC) does not divide mitotically. Instead, it undergoes meiosis, which is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, leading to the formation of haploid cells.

### Step 2: Analyze the Reason
The reason states: "Megaspore mother cells are diploid and megaspore is haploid."
- **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. The megaspore mother cell is indeed diploid (2n), and after meiosis, it produces megaspores that are haploid (n).

### Step 3: Conclusion
- The assertion is false, while the reason is true. Therefore, the correct conclusion is that the assertion does not correctly explain the reason.

### Step 4: Identify the Correct Option
From the analysis:
- **Option 1**: Both statements are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1. (Incorrect)
- **Option 2**: Both statements are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1. (Incorrect)
- **Option 3**: Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is wrong. (Incorrect)
- **Option 4**: Statement 1 is wrong but statement 2 is true. (Correct)

Thus, the correct answer is **Option 4**: Statement 1 is wrong but statement 2 is true.
