2. Wheat, barley and rye are common biennials.
3. After vernalisation, plants have acquired the ability to flower.
4. Even after vernalisation, plants may require additional seasonal cues or weeks of growth before they will actually flower.

Statement I: | The root apical meristem and the shoot apical meristem are responsible for the primary growth of the plants and principally contribute to the elongation of the plants along their axis. |
Statement II: | In dicots and gymnosperms, the lateral meristems, vascular cambium and cork-cambium appear later in life and cause the increase in the girth of the organs in which they are active. |

I: | The process, by which exposure to cold renders plants competent to flower is called vernalization. |
II: | Even after vernalization, the plant must be subjected to a suitable photoperiod, usually long days. |
III: | Like photoperiod, vernalization is also perceived in leaves. |
IV: | In most biennial long day plants that form rosettes, gibberellins treatment can substitute for the cold requirement. |
