I: | Three cells are grouped together at the micropylar end and constitute the egg apparatus. |
II: | Three cells are at the chalazal end and are called the antipodals. |
III: | The large central cell, as mentioned earlier, has two polar nuclei. |
IV: | A typical angiosperm embryo sac, at maturity, though 8-nucleate is 7-celled. |

I: | produce assured seed-set even in the absence of pollinators. |
II: | are invariably autogamous. |
I: | is transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a different plant. |
II: | is the only type of pollination which during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma. |
1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
I: | Pollination by wind is more common amongst abiotic pollinations. |
II: | Wind pollination requires that the pollen grains are light and non-sticky. |
1. | is very common in flowering plants but is limited mostly to monocotyledons. |
2. | is quite rare in flowering plants and is limited mostly to dicotyledons. |
3. | is quite rare in flowering plants and is limited mostly to monocotyledons. |
4. | is very common in flowering plants but is limited mostly to dicotyledons. |
Assertion (A): | Majority of insect-pollinated flowers are large, colourful, fragrant and rich in nectar. |
Reason (R): | Animals are attracted to flowers by colour and/or fragrance. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
I: | the plants are called as monoecious |
II: | it prevents autogamy but not geitonogamy |
