Assertion: Algae shown only anisogamous type of reproduction.
Reason: In algae, gametes can never be non flagellated.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

if assertion is true but reason is false.

D

if both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Sexual reproduction in algae takes place thorugh fusion of two gametes. These gametes can be flagellated and similar in size (as in Chlamydomonas) or non-flagellanted (non-motile) but similar in size (as in Spirogyra). Such reproduction is called isogamous.
