Solution

Assertion (A): True. Sexual reproduction in Volvox does take place by oogamy.

Reason (R): True. In Volvox, the male gametes are smaller, motile, and flagellated, while the female gametes are larger and non-motile. This is characteristic of oogamy.

However, the reason is slightly incorrect as it states that the female gamete is flagellated, which is not the case in oogamy. In oogamy, the female gamete is typically larger and non-motile.

So, while both the assertion and reason are true, the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
