Assertion: Ascxual as well as sexual modes of reproduction are exhibited by the higher plants. Reason: Only sexual mode of reproduction is present in most of the animals.
Life extension: a) is not possible, because natural selection cannot weed out disease-causing alleles that have an effect only after the age when reproduction is no longer possible. b) can be achieved in species by selectively breeding individuals with the earliest age of maturity. c) works in insects but could not work in humans. d) has been achieved using laboratory selection for delayed reproduction. e) None of the above are true.
