MCQ
For two statements are given$-$one labelled Assertion and the other labelled Reason. Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $(a), (b), (c)$ and $(d)$ as given below.
Assertion: Allogamy includes both geitonogamy and xenogamy.
Reason: Allogamy needs abiotic or biotic external agencies for pollination.
  • A
    Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • ✓
    Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • C

  • D
    Both assertion and reason are false.
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower, $i.e.,$ allogamy. Cross pollination is further classified depending on whether the pollination has occurred between two flowers on the same plant $($geitonogamy$)$ or between two flowers on different plants $($xenogamy$).$ Cross pollination $($allogamy$)$ is performed with the help of an external agency. The latter may be abiotic $(e.g.,$ wind, water$)$ or biotic $(e.g.,$ insects, birds, bats, snails$).$

Read the following and answer any four questions from $(i)$ to $(v)$ given below:
Embryo develops at the micropylar end of the embryo sac, where the zygote is situated. Most zygotes divided only after certain amount of endosperm is formed. The early stages of embryo development are similar in both monocotyledons and dicotyledons. The zygote gives rise to the proembryo and subsequently to the globular heart-shaped and mature embryo. A typical dicotyledonous embryo consists of an embryonal axis and two cotyledons. Embryo of monocotyledons possess only one cotyledon.
  1. True embryo develops as a result of fusion of:
  1. Two polar nuclei of embryo sac.
  2. An egg cell and a male gamete.
  3. Synergid and male gamete.
  4. A male gamete and antipodals.
  1. Refer to the given diagram of the embryo of an angiospermous plant with parts labelled $P, Q$ and $R$. Select the correct statement$(s)$ regarding this.
