Assertion: Pollen grains reach directly to the egg, which is seated deep in the ovarian cavity.
Reason: To effect fertilisation, the pollen grains germinate on the stigma.

In angiosperms the female gametophyte is seated deep in the ovarian cavity, quite away from the stigma. In seed plants, the male gametes are brought to the egg containing female gametophyte by a pollen tube. A pollen grain does not pass down the stigma. Only its pollen tube does so. Thus, assertion is false but reason is true.
