The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Assertion**: The statement claims that the sexual reproduction of Spirogyra is isogamous. - **Reason**: The statement explains that both fusing gametes of Spirogyra are non-flagellated and similar in size. 2. **Identifying Spirogyra**: - Spirogyra is a type of green algae that belongs to the division Chlorophyceae. It is characterized by its spiral chloroplasts and is known for its ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually. 3. **Types of Sexual Reproduction in Algae**: - There are three main types of sexual reproduction in algae: - **Isogamous**: Both male and female gametes are similar in size and shape. - **Anisogamous**: Male and female gametes are dissimilar in size and shape. - **Oogamous**: Male gamete is smaller and motile, while the female gamete is larger and non-motile. 4. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - The assertion states that Spirogyra reproduces sexually in an isogamous manner. This is correct because in Spirogyra, the gametes are indeed similar in size and shape. 5. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states that both fusing gametes are non-flagellated and similar in size. This is also correct, as Spirogyra's gametes do not have flagella and are indistinguishable from one another. 6. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason provides a valid explanation for the assertion, we conclude that both statements are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
