Consider the following statements:
I. | Growth in plants occurs by cell division and cell enlargement, followed by cell differentiation. |
II. | Growth in plants is generally limited to regions of growing points known as meristems. |
1. Both are correct and II explains I
2. Both are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
Two leaves with respective growth are depicted below.
Consider A' and B' or final size after growth. Which of following statement explain the above situation appropriately :-
1. | Relative growth rate of A is twice as that of B relative growth rate |
2. | Absolute growth rate is same in A and B |
3. | Absolute growth rate of B is 1/10 of A absoulate growth rate |
4. | Relative growth rate of B is same as A relative growth |
Assertion (A): | Plants retain the capacity for unlimited growth throughout their life. |
Reason (R): | Plant growth is unique. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explains (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Assertion (A): | r is the relative growth rate in plants but cannot be used to calculate efficiency index. |
Reason (R): | The final size of W1 depends on the initial size W0 during plant growth. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion (A): | Growth is measured by a variety of parameters like an increase in fresh weight, dry weight, length, area, volume, and cell number. |
Reason (R): | These quantities are proportional to protoplasm. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explains (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Assertion (A): | Expansion of leaf is growth. |
Reason (R): | Growth is reversible permanent increase in size of an organ or its parts. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (A) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion (A): | Growth, at an organ level, is principally a consequence of the increase in the amount of protoplasm. |
Reason (R): | The increase in protoplasm is difficult to measure directly. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explains (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
