MHT CET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 1. Reproduction in Lower and Higher Plants

Given below are two statements.
Statement I - In artificial method of plant -propagation like cutting, vegetative part used for propagation contains one or more buds.
Statement II - In artificial method of vegetative propagation like budding, a vegetative part of stem contains only one bud.
In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:

A Both statement I and statement II are correct.
B Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
C Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
D Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

While budding involves inserting a single bud from a desired plant into another plant (rootstock), it's not a general rule that the stem used in artificial propagation contains only one bud. Some methods may use parts with more than one bud, and "budding" specifically refers to a bud grafting technique.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
