Detailed Solution

Assertion is correct. In arithmetic growth (also known as linear growth), the increase in the length or size of an organ or population over time is constant and linear. When you plot the length of the organ against time, you indeed get a straight-line graph with a constant slope, representing consistent growth.

Reason is also correct. In arithmetic growth only one daughter cell form continues to divide while the other specialises.

Assertion and reason both are true and the reason is correct explanation of assertion.
