Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
In some algae, the two gametes are so similar in appearance that they are called homogametes or isogametes. Therefore, it is not possible to differentiate them into male and female gametes. However, in most of sexually reproducing organisms the gametes are of two morphologically dissimilar type, hence they are known as heterogametes or anisogametes.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
