Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Gametes are formed independently either from diploid or haploid parents. They are always haploid. The diploid mother cells undergo mitosis and then meiosis to form haploid gametes.
The gametes are produced by the mitosis and meiotic division of the diploid parent cell in the respective gonads. In haploid parents, it occurs through mitosis of the spores.
So, the correct answer is option C.
