Question

Assertion [A]: Fungal zygote develops a thick wall that is resistant to desiccation and damage
Reason [R]: Formation of diploid zygote is universal in all sexually reproducing organisms and its development depends on the type of life cycles

• A. A and R are correct. R is the correct explanation of A
• B. A and R are correct. R is not the correct explanation of A
• C. A is correct but R is incorrect
• D. A is incorrect but R is correct

Hint:

When assessing statements, it's crucial to determine if the reason logically supports the assertion, beyond just being correct on its own.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Examining assertion and reason. While both the assertion and the reason are technically correct in their respective contexts, the reason does not directly explain why the fungal zygote develops a thick wall, which is more about survival adaptation than the universality of zygote formation.
