The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Zoospores in Chlamydomonas are frequently formed in the night during favorable conditions." - Chlamydomonas is a green algae that reproduces asexually through the formation of zoospores. - It is known that zoospores are produced under favorable conditions, and their production is more frequent at night. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Zoospore swims for a certain time and then grows into a new plant." - This is true as well; after the zoospores are released, they swim for a period and then settle down to grow into a new plant body, known as thallus. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true statements. - However, the reason does not directly explain why zoospores are formed at night. The assertion is about the timing of zoospore formation, while the reason describes the behavior of the zoospores after they are formed. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
