Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) statements are correct, and R is correct explanation of A.
In chromosomal aberration there is an alteration in the structural organisation of chromosome.  Aberrations are of two types, Intrachromosomal aberration :  when the alteration is within single chromosome. Interchromosomal aberration : when alteration involves the intervention of two or more chromosomes. Cri-du-chat syndrome in humans is caused by deletion of a part of short arm of chromosome 5. It involves alteration in only one chromosome; hence it is an intrachromosomal aberration.

Breathing and respiration are not synonymous. Breathing is first step of respiration which refers to the intake of fresh air inside and removal of foul air outside the respiratory organs. Respiration is a biochemical process by which organic compounds in food are oxidized to carbon dioxide, water and energy in a stepwise process.
Breathing is physical process.

Correct answer.
Coelomates have a fluid filled body cavity called coelom with a complete lining called peritoneum derived from mesoderm, e.g., annelids, molluscs, arthropods, echinoderms, hemichordates, and charodates.
Pseudocoelomates have a pseudocoelom which is a fully functional body cavity where tissue derived from mesoderm only partly lines the fluid filled body cavity, e.g. aschelminthes.
Acoelomates have no body cavity at all, e.g., platyhelminthes.

Correct answer.
After fertilization ovary develops into fruit.
After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed. After fertilization, the funicle (stalk of ovule) forms the stalk of seed.
After fertilization, the nucellus may develop into the perisperm that feeds the embryo.
