Assertion(A): | Gymnosperms are called naked-seeded plants. |
Reason(R): | The seeds remain exposed after their fertilization. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion (A): | In gymnosperms, the pollen grains are released from the microsporangium and carried by air currents. |
Reason (R): | Air currents carry the pollen grains to the mouth of the archegonia where the male gametes are discharged and pollen tube is not formed. |
1. | (A) is False, (R) is True. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
