In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R)
(1) If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark A
(2) If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark B
(3) If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark C
(4) If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark D
ASSERTION : In dicot roots secondary growth cambium is served from Pericycle and conjuctive tissue.
REASON: The vascular cambium in the dicot root is complete and continuous wavy ring.
A
B
C
D
The assertion states that in dicot roots, secondary growth cambium is derived from the pericycle and conjunctive tissue, which is true. The pericycle and conjunctive tissue can contribute to the formation of the vascular cambium during secondary growth in dicot roots.
However, the reason provided states that the vascular cambium in the dicot root is a complete and continuous wavy ring, which is not the correct explanation. The vascular cambium in dicot roots is not a continuous wavy ring but rather forms discrete patches or strands between the primary xylem and the primary phloem.
Therefore, Option 2) If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion is the correct answer.
