- Consider the following statements regarding the introduction of plant materials and seeds.
- Plant materials and seeds are always introduced from developed countries into developing⟋less developed countries.
- The import of living plant materials must be accompanied by a certificate of health to prevent introduction of new diseases and insect pests.
- The superior varieties may be used in hybridization programmes.
- Of these statements
- 1,2 and 3 are correct
- 1, and 2 are correct
- 2 and 3 are correct
- 1 and 3 are correct
- Assertion (A) : Energy required for the formation of a soup of organic molecules and later complex molecules acquiring characteristics of life in water was obtained from uv rays of the sun, radioactivity, electric discharges etc.
- Reason (R) : Life originated in water possibly in the form of bacteria.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R are 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 presence of tyloses prevents rapid entrance of water, air and fungal filament.
- Reason (R) : Tyloses are formed by the enlargement of the pit membrane of the half-bordered pit-pairs between wood parenchyma and tracheids.

- A is true but R is false
- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : A large number of amino acids are not incorporated in proteins and are highly toxic.
- Reason (R) : The ‘non-protein’ amino acids provide chemical defense to plants and have been exploited for taxonomic studies.

- Assertion (A) : Asexual reproduction is of great advantage to the plant improvement programme of a particular species.
- Reason (R) : An indefinitely large number of genetically identical individuals can be obtained irrespective of the degree of heterozygosis of the genotype.

- Assertion (A) : Entomophilies plants produce less pollen when compared to anemophilous plants.
- Reason (R) : The wastage of pollen is reduced to the minimum in entomophilies plants because of the directional pollination.

- A is false but R is true
- Assertion (A) : A transonic plant exhibits a quadrivalent configuration at metaphase I.
- Reason (R) : It may be a frisomic with two Tran located chromosomes which results in the manifestation of quadrivalent configuration at metaphase-I.

- Both A and R are 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) : In eukaryotic plants, the sequence of m RNA of a given gene is different from the sequence present in the genomic DNA.
