Assertion [A]: In the case of unicellular organisms, reproduction is synonymous to growth.
Reason [R]: Growth in unicellular organisms refers to an increase in the number of cells.
Answer: Option A
:
A
In unicellular organisms such as bacteria and amoeba, growth refers to an increase in population size, and not the size of individual cells (as the latter is not very significantly observable). Reproduction too results in an increase in population size. Growth and reproduction can thus, be said to mean the same in this context.
