NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 1. sexual reproduction in flowering plants
Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Cells of the tapetum possess dense cytoplasm and generally have more than one nucleus.
Reason (R) : Presence of more than one nucleus in the tapetum increases the efficiency of nourishing the developing microspore mother cells.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A Both \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\) are true and \(\mathbf{R}\) is the correct explanation of \(\mathbf{A}\)
- B Both \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\) are true but \(\mathbf{R}\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(\mathbf{A}\)
- C \(\mathbf{A}\) is true but \(\mathbf{R}\) is false
- D \(\mathbf{A}\) is false but \(\mathbf{R}\) is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Both \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\) are true and \(\mathbf{R}\) is the correct explanation of \(\mathbf{A}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Cell of the tapetum possess dense cytoplasm and generally have more than one nucleus because the presence of more than one nucleus in the tapetal cells increases the efficiency of nourishing the develpoing pollen grains.
