Any seed which contains endosperm or perisperm at maturity is called albuminous or endospermic seed i.e., food reserve of the seed is stored in endosperm or perisperm, e.g. rubber, coconut, castor bean, maize and other cereals. Seed that does not have endosperm at maturity and in which cotyledons absorb food reserve from endosperm during development and act as storage organs is called exalbuminous or nonendospermic seed, e.g., mustard, groundnut, bean, pea etc.
Assertion: In some species of asteraceae and poaceae seeds are formed without fertilization.
Reason: Formation of fruit without fertilization is called parthenocarpy.

If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false.
Even after killing the generative cell with a laser beam, the pollen grain of a flowering plant germinates and produces normal pollen tube because
laser beam stimulates pollen germination and pollen tube growth
the laser beam does not damage the region from which pollen tube emerges
the contents of killed generative cell permits germination and pollen tube growth
the vegetative cell has not been damaged
Assertion : Protandry and protogyny ensures cross fertilization.
Reason : Cross fertilization introduces variation in progeny.

If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
Assertion : Pollen mother cells (PMCs) are the first male gametophytic cells.
Reason : Each PMC gives rise to two pollens.

Which one of the following pairs of plant structures has haploid number of chromosomes
Nucellus and antipodal cells
Egg nucleus and secondary nucleus
Megaspore mother cell and antipodal cells
Egg cell and antipodal cells
Assertion : Emasculation prevents self- pollination in flowers.
Reason : Emasculation is the removal of anthers from a bisexual flower.

Apomixis is
formation of seeds by fusion of gametes
formation of seeds without syngamy and meiosis
formation of seeds with syngamy but no meiosis
none of the above
Assertion: Nuclear endosperm is formed by subsequent nuclear division without wall formation.
Reason: Coconut is an example of such endosperm, where the endosperm remains nuclear throughout the development of the fruit
