Consider the given two statements:
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.

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: In geometric growth, following mitotic cell division, only one daughter cell continues to divide while the other differentiates and matures.
Statement II: In arithmetic growth, both the progeny cells following mitotic cell division retain the ability to divide and continue to do so.

1.Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
4.Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct

Mathematically, arithmetic growth in plants is expressed as:
1. Lt = L0 + rt 2. Lt = L0 X rt
3. Lt = L0 / rt 4. Lt = L0 - rt
