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: Helobial endosperm is found in monocots.
Reason: Two chambers are formed in this endosperm.
  • 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
    Assertion is true, but reason is false.
  • 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.
Helobial endosperm is restricted largely to the monocotyledons. The primary endosperm nucleus moves to the chalazal end of the embryo sac, where it divides, fanning a large micropylar chamber and a small chalazal chamber.

Read the following and answer any four questions from $(i)$ to $(v)$ given below:
The pollen grains or microspores are the male reproductive bodies of a flower and are contained in the pollen sac or microsporangia. Each pollen grain consists of a single microscopic cell, possessing two coats: the exine and the in tine. The exine of a pollen grain is made of chemically stable material. Because of this, pollen grains are often very well preserved for thousands of years in soil and sediments.
  1. One of the most resistant biological material present in the exine of pollen grain is:
  1. Pectocellulose.
  2. Sporopollenin.
  3. Suberin.
  4. Cellulose.
  1. The exine possesses one or more thin places known as:
  1. Raphe.
  2. Germ pores.
  3. Hilum.
  4. Endothecium.
  1. What is the function of germ pore?
  1. Emergence of radicle.
  2. Absorption of water for seed germination.
  3. Initiation of pollen tube.
  4. All of these.
  1. What is the key advantage to the plant for having such strong pollen grain walls?
  1. It protects the vital genetic material in the pollen grain.
  2. It allows pollen to serve as a valuable fossil record for the study of ancient plants.
  3. It prevents the pollen tube from growing out before the pollen grain reaches the stigma of a compatible species.
  4. It gives weight to the pollen grain, allowing it to cling better to the body surfaces of insect pollinators.
  1. The number of germ pores in dicots and monocots respectively are:
  1. One and three.
  2. Three and two.
  3. Two and three.
  4. Three and one.
