The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Monoecious Plants**: - Monoecious plants are those that have both male and female reproductive organs on the same individual. This means that a single plant can produce both male and female flowers. 2. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in monoecious plants, neither autogamy nor geitonogamy can be observed. - Autogamy refers to self-pollination, where pollen from the male part fertilizes the female part of the same flower. - Geitonogamy refers to pollination between different flowers on the same plant. - Since monoecious plants have both male and female flowers on the same plant, both autogamy and geitonogamy can indeed occur. Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states that in monoecious plants, male and female flowers produce on different plants. - This statement is also incorrect because, by definition, monoecious plants have both male and female flowers on the same plant, not on different plants. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are incorrect.
