Assertion (A): | Plant growth is intimately linked to the water status of the plant while development is not. |
Reason (R): | The plant cells grow in size by cell enlargement which in turn requires water. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False; (R) is True. |
When parenchyma cells are grown in tissue culture in a medium not containing any PGRs:
1. | the cells divide but do not differentiate |
2. | the cells divide and get differentiated |
3. | the cells enlarge but do not divide or differentiate |
4. | the cells die |
A. | Differentiation | - | The formation of xylem and phloem from meristematic tissue |
B. | Dedifferentiation | - | Formation of secondary xylem |
1. | Only A is correct |
2. | Only B is correct |
3. | Both A and B are correct |
4. | Neither A nor B is correct |
1. | Meristematic cells developing into specialized tissues. |
2. | Xylem cells undergoing dedifferentiation to form cambium. |
3. | Fully mature tissues losing their ability to perform specialized functions. |
4. | Differentiated cells regaining the ability to divide and specialize again. |
Consider the given two statements:
I: | Differentiation in plants is open. |
II: | Cells/tissues arising out of the same meristem have different structures at maturity. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
Statement I: | In cotton, coriander, and larkspur, differences in the shapes of leaves produced in air and those produced in water represent heterophyllous development due to environment. |
Statement II: | In buttercup, the leaves of the juvenile plant are different in shape from those in mature plants. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
Assertion (A): | Spraying sugarcane crops with gibberellins increase the yield by as much as 20 tonnes per acre. |
Reason (R): | Sugarcane stores carbohydrates such as sugar in their stems. |
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. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
In most seeds, the ratio of which of the following pair of PGRs determines whether the embryo remains dormant or germinates?
1. | ABA and GA | 2. | Auxin and Cytokinin |
3. | Auxin and GA | 4. | ABA and Cytokinin |
