93. Assertion: In plants, apormixis a form of a
reproduction that mimics sexual reproductiobn
Reason: Apomixis ivolves the production of
seeds
without the fusion of gametes
94. Assertion : Ex-albuminous seeds do not possess
an. residual endosperm, as it is completely
consumed during embryo development.
Reason: Wheat, castor, pea and groundnut are
all the examples of ex-albuminous seeds.
95. Assertion : During developrment of embryo in
dicots suspensor serves as the main nutritive tissue
for the embryo
Reason: The last cell of the suspensor at the
end adjacent to the embryo is known as haustorium
96. Assertion: In Cocos nucifera, coconut water
represents the cellular endosperm and the
surrounding white kernel represents the free-
nuclear endosperm.
Reason: Endosperm is always Cormpletely
consurmed by developing embryo before seed
maturation
97 Assertion: In angiosperms, endosperm
development preceedes embryo developrment.
Reason: Double fertilisation ernsures that the
nutritive tissue is formed before the zygote starts
cleaving
98. Assertion: Self-incompatibility is, a genetic
rmechaim which prevents self pollination by
inhibiting either Pollen germination or pollen tube
growth in the pistil
Reason : In gametophytic self-incompatibility,
the incompatibility reaction is deterrmined by the
genotype of the sporophytic tissue
