Given below are two statements : One labelled as Assertion A and the other labelled as Reason R: Assertion A : The first stage of gametophyte in the life cycle of moss is protonema stage. Reason R : Protonema develops directly from spores produced in capsule. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from options given below:
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
A is correct but R is not correct
A is not correct but R is correct
In mosses, the spore germinates to form a filamentous, creeping, green, branched, and frequently filamentous stage called the protonema. Thus, both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
