Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
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.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
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).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
