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. |
I: | Root apical meristem |
II: | Shoot apical meristem |
III: | Vascular cambium |
IV: | Cork-cambium |
Assertion (A): | Growth, at the cellular level, is measured by a variety of parameters, some of which are: increase in fresh weight, dry weight, length, area, volume and cell number. |
Reason (R): | Growth, at a cellular level, is principally a consequence of an increase in the amount of protoplasm, and increase in protoplasm is difficult to measure directly. |
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. | Increased vacuolation | 2. | Cell enlargement |
3. | Constant division | 4. | New cell wall deposition |
1. | Lt = L0 + rt | 2. | Lt = L0 X rt |
3. | Lt = L0 / rt | 4. | Lt = L0 - rt |
Assertion (A): | A sigmoid curve is a characteristic of living organism growing in a natural environment. |
Reason (R): | It is typical for all cells, tissues and organs of a plant. |
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): | 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. |
