The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break down the concepts of sexual reproduction in fungi and algae step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in fungi, the sexual apparatus decreases in complexity from lower to higher forms. - This means that simpler fungi (lower forms) have more complex sexual reproductive structures compared to more advanced fungi (higher forms). 2. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason given is that in algae, the sexual apparatus increases in complexity from simple to higher forms. - This suggests that simpler algae have less complex reproductive structures, while more advanced algae have more complex structures. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - In fungi, it is observed that as we move from lower to higher forms, there is a trend towards asexual reproduction, which often involves simpler structures. - Therefore, the assertion is correct: the complexity of the sexual apparatus does decrease in fungi from lower to higher forms. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - In algae, the trend is somewhat opposite. Many higher algae exhibit more complex reproductive structures compared to simpler forms. - Thus, the reason is also correct, but it does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. - Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, and the reason is true but not a correct explanation. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion.
