Question

Assertion (A): In flowering plants, fertilisation of ovules takes place in the ovary.

Reason (R): In human female, the fertilisation of ovum takes place in the uterus.

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

In flowering plants, fertilisation takes place inside the ovule, which is present in the ovary. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.

In human females, fertilisation does not take place in the uterus. It occurs in the fallopian tube (oviduct). The fertilised egg then moves to the uterus for implantation and development. Therefore, Reason (R) is false.

Hence, Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
