Assertion: At root tips the cells of the zone of elongation attain their maximal size in terms of wall thickening and protoplasmic modifications.
Reason: The zone of elongation is the most proximal zone at the root tip.

Assertion: Auxin, produced predominantly in shoot tips, is transported from cell to cell down the stem and this is called as polar transport.
Reason: The polar transport is due to the gravitational forces.
