Q. Assertion : In fungi sexual apparatus decreases in complexity from lower to higher forms.
Reason : In algae sexual apparatus increases in complexity from simple to the higher forms.

Biological Classification

Solution:

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
In fungi, there is gradual and progressive simplification and ultimate elimination of the sexual apparatus from the lower to higher forms of fungi. In case of algae, the sexual apparatus increases in complexity from simple to higher forms.
