Endosperm is a tissue produced inside the seeds of most of the flowering plants following fertilization. It surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch.
Scutellum is a small structure shaped like a shield. It is also a modified cotyledon in the embryo of a grass seed.
Radicle is the part of a plant embryo that develops into the primary root.
Coleorhiza is a sheath protecting the root of a germinating grass or cereal grain.
Sporopollenin is a constituent of pollen exine. It can be degraded by the action of
enzymes
high temperature
strong acids
cannot be degraded
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
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
