Question

Assertion (A): Algae and fungi shift to asexual method of reproduction before the onset of adverse conditions.

Reason (R): Asexual reproduction leads to the formation of many clones with some variations.

• Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are false.

Answer 1

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are false.
