To differentiate into a tracheary element, a plant cell:
I: | would lose its protoplasm |
II: | develops a strong, elastic lignocellulosic secondary wall |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
Assertion (A): | Growth, at a cellular level, is measured by a variety of parameters such as increase in fresh weight, dry weight, length, area, volume and cell number. |
Reason (R): | Such parameters are more or less proportional to the increase in protoplasm which is primarily responsible for growth at cellular level. |
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. |

Statement I: | Development in plants is the sum of two processes: growth and differentiation. |
Statement II: | The development of a mature plant from a zygote (fertilised egg) follows a precise and highly ordered succession of events. |
I: | can be defined as an irreversible permanent increase in size of an organ or its parts or even of an individual cell. |
II: | is accompanied by metabolic processes, only anabolic and not catabolic, that occur at the expense of energy. |
Assertion (A): | Plants retain the capacity for unlimited growth throughout their life. |
Reason (R): | Meristems are present at certain locations in plant body. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains the (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain the (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False; (R) is True. |
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. |
