| 1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
| 2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
| 3. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. |

| Assertion (A): | In xenogamy, pollen is transferred from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another plant of a different species. |
| Reason (R): | Xenogamy results in genetic variation as it involves the fusion of gametes from different individuals. |

| 2. | It is the formation of multiple embryos from a single fertilized egg. |
| 3. | It occurs only in albuminous seeds, such as wheat and rice. |
| 4. | It results from the division of nucellar or integumentary cells to form additional embryos. |
| Assertion(A): | Majority of flowering plants produce unisexual flowers. |
