Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Question:

Assertion: Flowers are the structures of sexual reproduction.
Reason: Various embryological processes of plants occur in a flower.

Options:

Both Assertion (A) and reason (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Both Assertion (A) and reason (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is not correct.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Assertion: "Flowers are the structures of sexual reproduction." – Correct

Flowers are the reproductive structures in angiosperms.
They contain stamens (male reproductive organs) and carpels/pistils (female reproductive organs), which facilitate sexual reproduction through pollination and fertilization.

Reason: "Various embryological processes of plants occur in a flower." – Correct

Embryological processes such as meiosis, gametogenesis (formation of pollen and embryo sac), pollination, fertilization, and seed development all occur within the flower.
Since these processes are essential for sexual reproduction, R correctly explains A.

Final Answer:

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A.
