NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 5. Morphology flowering plants
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\):
Assertion \(A\): A flower is defined as modified shoot wherein the shoot apical meristem changes to floral meristem.
Reason \(R\): Internode of the shoot gets condensed to produce different floral appendages laterally at successive node instead of leaves.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
- B Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
- C Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\)
- D \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A flower is a modified shoot wherein the shoot apical meristem changes to floral meristem.
Internodes do not elongate and the axis gets condensed. The apex produces different kinds of floral appendages laterally at the successive nodes instead of leaves.
Therefore, both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is correct explanation of \(A\).
Internodes do not elongate and the axis gets condensed. The apex produces different kinds of floral appendages laterally at the successive nodes instead of leaves.
Therefore, both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is correct explanation of \(A\).
