Assertion: Isobilateral leaves are amphistomatic.
Reason: Mesophyll is not differentiated into palisade and
spongy.
Reason: Mesophyll is not differentiated into palisade and
spongy.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is
not a correct explanation of the
assertion
not a correct explanation of the
assertion
Option B (If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because isobilateral leaves are amphistomatic (have stomata on both surfaces), and their mesophyll is not differentiated, but the lack of differentiation doesn't directly cause the amphistomatic condition.
