Assertion (A): | Flowering plants have evolved adaptations to promote cross pollination. |
Reason (R): | Most angiosperms are dioeceous plants. |
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. | Pollen grains are part of the male gametophytes in flowering plants. |
2. | Each pollen grain contains two cells: the vegetative cell and the generative cell. |
3. | The outer wall of the pollen grain is called the exine, which is known for its high resistance to decay. |
4. | Pollen grains are formed in the megasporangium of the flower. |
Assertion (A): | The endosperm is formed before fertilization in most flowering plants. |
Reason (R): | The endosperm serves as a nutritional source for the developing embryo. |
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. | It is made of cellulose and is highly permeable. |
2. | It is made of sporopollenin, which is extremely resistant to harsh environmental conditions and enzymes. |
3. | It is soft and easily degradable to facilitate germination. |
4. | It contains chlorophyll to aid in photosynthesis. |
1. | Pollen grains are viable for several weeks after release. |
2. | Pollen grains lose their viability within 30 minutes of release. |
3. | The viability of pollen grains varies among species, ranging from a few minutes to several months. |
4. | All pollen grains remain viable indefinitely when stored at room temperature. |
1. | Perisperm is derived from the fertilization of the central cell, while endosperm is not. |
2. | Perisperm is a diploid tissue, while endosperm is tetraploid. |
3. | Endosperm is derived from the fertilization of the central cell, while perisperm is not. |
4. | Endosperm is a diploid tissue, while perisperm is triploid. |
