- Assertion (A) : The secondary phloem constitutes a less prominent part of the tree trunk than the secondary xylem.
- Reason (R) : The amount of phloem produced by the vascular cambium is smaller than that of secondary xylem.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : The foliose lichen fixes considerable amount of atmospheric nitrogen which is released as nitrate by talus decomposition.
- Reason (R) : Since lichens are efficient bioaccumulations, one would expect them to contribute to nutrient cycling in the forest ecosystem.

- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : If the protein-sheath of a virus is removed, it can infect many hosts.
- Reason (R) : By removing protein-sheath of a virus, genetic matter can be activated to enable it to infect any host.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : The allotter enzyme show a ‘Sigmoid’ curve when their activity is plotted against substrate concentration.
- Reason (R) : The allosteric enzymes deviate from Michaelis-Menten behavior.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : When an apical bud is removed, several auxiliary buds start growing.
- Reason (R) : Cytokines produced in roots move into the shoot system.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : Senescence is delayed by the application of cytokine in plants.
- Reason (R) : Cytokine prevents the breakdown of chlorophyll, protein and nucleic acids.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : A short day plant will flower if the long inductive dark period is interrupted with red light.
- Reason (R) : Photoperiodic flowering response of such a kind is under the control of phytochrome.

- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : Formation of two noncrossover and two crossover types from a pair of homologous chromosomes, is the result of a single chiasma.
- Reason (R) : Crossing over takes place between whole chromosomes.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : Eradication of alternative host barberry reduces opportunities for the development of new races of the rust fungus through genetic recombination of barberry.
- Reason (R) : Eradication of alternate host barberry does not contribute to the success of breeding resistant varieties.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : By using trap crops in a crop rotation programmee, the population of nematode in soil is reduced considerably.
- Reason (R) : Trap crops parasitize nematodes and kill them.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : The most characteristic property of Agro bacterium tumefactions is its ability to transform normal host cell to tumor cell.
- Reason (R) : The tumor cell is dependent on the bacterium and continues to grow only when the bacterium is present
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R ate true but R is not a correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : Jojoba hohoba (Simmondsia chine sis) is the only known flowering plant in which the food reserve is neither starch nor an oil, but a liquid wax.
- Reason (R) : Though the wax if formed by the combination of fatty acids with an alcohol, the alcohol is not the trihy dric alcohol is not the trihedral alcohol glycerol.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : Epiphytic orchids are adapted to grow on stems and branches of big trees.
- Reason (R) : This adaptation ensures them high light intensity as they remain in an elevated position form the ground surface.
