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): | 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. |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Statement I: | In some species, remnants of the nucellus persist in the seed as perisperm. |

Assertion (A): | Parthenocarpy is desirable in fruit crops such as banana and orange. |
Reason (R): | Parthenocarpy leads to development of seeds without fertilization. |
