Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): | A moist habitat is almost always required for external fertilization. |
Reason (R): | A moist habitat prevents the drying of gametes and allows sperms to swim to ova. |

Assertion (A): | If the pituitary gland is removed, spermatogenesis can still be initiated by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone. |
Reason (R): | In contrast to FSH, LH appears to have little role in spermatogenesis outside of inducing gonadal testosterone production. |
