### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Fishes are called ammoniatelic animals." This means that fishes primarily excrete ammonia as their nitrogenous waste. 2. **Understanding the Reasoning**: The reasoning provided states that "They contain nephrons which filter the blood and form the urine, and a large amount of ammonia is found in fish excreta." This indicates that fishes have a specific mechanism (nephrons) for filtering blood and producing urine, which contains a high concentration of ammonia. 3. **Analyzing the Assertion**: It is true that most fishes (approximately 90%) are classified as ammoniatelic because they excrete ammonia directly into the water. This is an adaptation to their aquatic environment, where ammonia can be diluted easily. ...
