As the size of the body increases the number of cells constituting the organism also increases, therefore assertion is incorrect. The size and shape of the cells vary based on their function for which they acquire a specific shape and size.Example, neurons are elongated and may extend upto a meter in length, while a smooth muscle cell is spindle shaped and a few micrometers in length.Therefore reason is incorrect
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'
