Statement I: | In cotton, coriander, and larkspur, differences in the shapes of leaves produced in air and those produced in water represent heterophyllous development due to environment. |
Statement II: | In buttercup, the leaves of the juvenile plant are different in shape from those in mature plants. |
Assertion(A): | Apical dominance is most likely adaptive. |
Reason(R): | It is important for the plant to devote energy to growing upward so that it can get more light to undergo photosynthesis. |
