Assertion (A): | Growth, at a cellular level, is measured by a variety of parameters such as increase in fresh weight, dry weight, length, area, volume and cell number. |
Reason (R): | Such parameters are more or less proportional to the increase in protoplasm which is primarily responsible for growth at cellular level. |
