I: | is also called carrot grass. |
II: | came to India as a contaminant with imported rice. |
III: | has become invasive in India. |
IV: | causes pollen allergy. |
The layers in the walls of the microsporangium that helps in the dehiscence of anther to release the pollen include:
I: | Epidermis |
II: | Endothecium |
III: | Middle layers |
IV: | Tapetum |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I, II, and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, III, and IV |
The germ pore in the pollen wall:
1. | is an aperture in the pollen intine that allows the pollen tube to exit. |
2. | is the name of the nucleus of the microspore mother cell. |
3. | is formed where sporopollenin is located in the exine. |
4. | is an aperture in the pollen exine that allows the pollen tube to exit. |
I: | The fruit is a drupe. |
II: | The white kerne is cellular endosperm. |

I: | Microspore mother cell is diploid and megaspore mother cell is haploid. |
II: | Microsporogenesis involves meiosis and megasporogenesis involves mitosis. |
Assertion (A): | Development of apomictic embryos is considered significant in the context of hybrid seed production. |
Reason (R): | If hybrids are made into apomicts, there is no segregation of characters in otherwise expensive to produce hybrid progeny. |
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): | The flowers produce enormous amount of pollen when compared to the number of ovules available for pollination. |
Reason (R): | Pollens are products of meiosis resulting in larger number of cells but egg is the product of mitosis resulting in fewer number of cells. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
Assertion (A): | Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction. |
Reason (R): | Apomicts do not produce seeds. |
