| a. | Modified axillary buds |
| b. | Found in Citrus |
| c. | Modifications of stem to protect plants from browsing animals |
| I: | Tepals |
| II: | Fused carpels in the ovary |
| III: | Stamens |
| 1. | Having the sepals united | Gamosepalous |
| 2. | Sterile stamen | Staminate |
| 3. | Stamens attached to perianth | Epiphyllous |
| 4. | Having the carpels of the gynoecium fused in a compound ovary | Syncarpous |
In ovary, many ovules can be seen in all, except:
1. Fabaceae
2. Solanaceae
3. Brassicaceae
4. Poaceae
| I: | Stem tendrils develop from axillary buds and help plants, such as pea, to climb |
| II: | Opuntia modifies its stems into flattened structures to protect itself from browsing animals |
| III: | Underground stems of some plants such as grass and strawberry spread to new niches and when older plants die, new plants are formed. |

| I: | In a typical dicotyledonous embryo, the portion of the embryonal axis above the level of cotyledons is the epicotyl, which terminates with the plumule or stem tip. |
| II: | In a typical dicotyledonous embryo, the cylindrical portion below the level of cotyledons is hypocotyl, and it terminates at its lower end in the radicle or root tip. |
| III: | In the grass family, the cotyledon is called the scutellum, which is situated towards one side (lateral) of the embryonal axis. |
| IV: | At its lower end, the embryonal axis in monocots has the radical and root cap enclosed in an undifferentiated sheath called coleorhiza. |
| V: | In monocots, the portion of the embryonal axis above the level of attachment of the scutellum is the epicotyl. |

| Assertion (A): | Leaves showing parallel venation are found in monocotyledonous plants |
| Reason (R): | In leaves showing parallel venation, the veins run parallel to one another, veinlets are inconspicuous and reticulations are absent |
