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. |
1. | Auxins | 2. | Gibberellins |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | Kinetins |
Statement I: | Kinetin occurs naturally in plants. |
Statement II: | Zeatin does not occur naturally in plants. |
Assertion (A): | The most widely used compound as source of ethylene is ethephon. |
Reason (R): | Ethephon in an aqueous solution is readily absorbed and transported within the plant and releases ethylene slowly. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
