Solution
A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
Assertion (A) is true because pollen recognition occurs through a continuous chemical interaction between the pollen and the pistil’s tissues, which helps determine compatibility.
Reason (R) is false because this interaction is chemical, not electrical.
Hence, the assertion is correct, but the reason does not support it.
