NEETBotanyBiological Classification
Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: Life cycle of plants has a single diploid sporophytic phase Reason: The lengths of haploid sporophytic phases vary in different plant groups
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion are Reason are false
Correct answer
D. Both Assertion are Reason are false
Step-by-step solution
Life cycle of plants has two distinct phases – the diploid sporophytic and the haploid gametophytic – that alternate with each other. The lengths of the haploid and diploid phases, and whether these phases are free–living or dependent on others, vary among different groups in plants.
