Question

Assertion (A): The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa by a process called spermiogenesis.

Reason (R): Spermatids undergo meiotic division to form haploid spermatozoa.

Options

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

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

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

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

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Spermiogenesis is the transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa. Spermatids are already haploid and do not undergo further meiotic division.
