Sporopollenin is a constituent of pollen exine. It can be degraded by the action of
enzymes
high temperature
strong acids
cannot be degraded
D.
cannot be degraded
Exine is the outer layer of pollen grain. It is thick and smooth and culticularised. Sporopollenin is the cutin. It protects the pollen grains as microfossils. It is not degraded by enzyme. It is not affected by high temperature, strong acid or alkali. It is resistant to chemical and biological decomposition.
After doble fertilization, a mature ovule has
1 diploid and 1 haploid cell
1 diploid and 1 triploid cell
2 haploid and 1 triploid cell
1 haploid and 1 triploid cell
Which of the following is not true for inbreeding?
It causes inbreeding depression after a few generations
It always increases the productivity.
It is used to produce a pure line.
It leads to homozygosity
The given figure shows L.S of the seed of maize. What do A, B, C and D represent?
A : endosperm, B : scutellum, C : plumule, D : coleoptile
A : scutellum, B : pericarp, C : radicle, D : coleoptile
A : endosperm, B : scutellum, C : radicle, D : coleorrhiza
A : scutellum, B : pericarp, C : plumule, D : coleorrhiza
Assertion : Commelina shows cleistogamy.
Reason : This reduces chances of inbreeding.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
