Question

Assertion: The life cycle of Fucus is related to angiosperms.
Reason: It has a diplontic life-cycle.

• A. A is correct, and R is the correct explanation to A
• B. Both A and B are correct, but R is not the correct explanation to A
• C. Only A is correct
• D. Both A and R are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is A A is correct, and R is the correct explanation to A

Most of the algae are haplontic, unlike Fucus which is an algae (Phaeophyceae) with a diplontic life-cycle. Hence, its life cycle is related to angiosperms. In the diplontic life-cycle, the haploid gametophytic phase is represented by the single to few celled haploid gametophyte. The diploid sporophyte is the dominant phase.
