AIIMS 2014 Botany Microbiology MCQ Question
Assertion Zoospores in Chlamydomonas are frequently formed in the night during favourable conditions. Reason Zoospore swim for a certain time and then grows into a new plant.
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Assertion is true but Reason is false
Both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The correct answer is B because both the assertion and the reason are true; Chlamydomonas does produce zoospores at night under favorable conditions, and these zoospores swim and develop into new plants. However, the reason provided does not directly explain why zoospores are formed specifically at night, as their formation is influenced by environmental factors rather than just their swimming and growth behavior.
