The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
  • In Chlamydomonas, zoospores are formed in the night and are released by rupturing the cell wall.
  • Zoospores formation is the most effective and rapid way of reproduction under favorable environmental conditions.
  • They develop either in zoosporangia or vegetative cells. They settle on a substratum and form thallus.
  • These are flagellated asexual spores. Due to the presence of flagella they can swim for many hours using endogenous food reserve to reproduce into a new plant.
    So, the correct option is B.
