Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): | Heterospory in some pteridophytes paved the way for the evolution of seeds in higher plants. |
Reason (R): | The megaspores and microspores in heterosporous ferns give rise to female and male gametophytes respectively. |

1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
