Assertion: In majority of angiosperms, there is monosporic type of embryo sac development.
Reason: The embryo sac develops from the single functional megaspore.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
• In a majority of flowering plants, one of the mega spores is functional while the other three degenerate.
• Functional megaspore develops into the female gametophyte (embryo sac). This method of embryo sac formation from a single megaspore is termed monosporic development
