Question
Assertion: In basidiomycetes, basidiospores are produced endogenously in the basidium.
Reason: In ascomycetes, ascospores are produced exogenously in ascus.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
